Revelation 16
New American Standard Bible 1995
Six Bowls of Wrath
1ThenG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from 1the 2templeG3485, sayingG3004 to the 3sevenG2033 angelsG32, “GoG5217 and 4pourG1632 out 5on the earthG1093 the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316.”
2SoG2532 the firstG4413 angel wentG565 and pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 67on the earthG1093; and it becameG1096 a loathsomeG2556 and malignantG4190 8soreG1668 on the 9peopleG444 10who hadG2192 the markG5480 of the beastG2342 and who worshipedG4352 his imageG1504.
3The secondG1208 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 11into the seaG2281, and it becameG1096 bloodG129 likeG5613 that of a deadG3498 manG3498; and everyG3956 livingG2222 12thingG5590 in the seaG2281 diedG599.
4ThenG2532 the thirdG5154 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 into the 13riversG4215 and the springsG4077 of watersG5204; and they 14becameG1096 bloodG129. 5And I heardG191 the angelG32 of the watersG5204 sayingG3004, “15RighteousG1342 are You, 16who are and whoG3588 were, O 17HolyG3741 OneG3741, becauseG3754 You 18judgedG2919 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 6for they pouredG1632 out 19the bloodG129 of saintsG40 and prophetsG4396, and You have givenG1325 them 20bloodG129 to drinkG4095. They 21deserveG514 it.” 7And I heardG191 22the altarG2379 sayingG3004, “YesG3483, O 23LordG2962 GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841, 24trueG228 and righteousG1342 are Your judgmentsG2920.”
8The fourthG5067 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 upon 25the sunG2246, 26and it was givenG1325 to it to scorchG2739 menG444 with fireG4442. 9MenG444 were scorchedG2739 with 27fierceG3173 heatG2738; and they 28blasphemedG987 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 who hasG2192 the powerG1849 overG1909 theseG3778 plaguesG4127, and they 29did not repentG3340 so as to 30giveG1325 Him gloryG1391.
10ThenG2532 the fifthG3991 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 on the 31throneG2362 of the beastG2342, and his kingdomG932 becameG1096 32darkenedG4656; and they gnawedG3145 their tonguesG1100 becauseG1537 of painG4192, 11and they 33blasphemedG987 the 34GodG2316 of heavenG3772 becauseG1537 of their painsG4192 and their 35soresG1668; and they 36did not repentG3340 of their deedsG2041.
12The sixthG1623 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 on the 37greatG3173 riverG4215, the EuphratesG2166; and 38its waterG5204 was driedG3583 up, soG2443 that 39the wayG3598 would be preparedG2090 for the kingsG935 40from the 41eastG395G2246.
Armageddon
13And I sawG3708 coming out of the mouthG4750 of the 42dragonG1404 and out of the mouthG4750 of the 43beastG2342 and out of the mouthG4750 of the 44falseG5578 prophetG5578, threeG5140 45uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 likeG5613 46frogsG944; 14for they are 47spiritsG4151 of demonsG1140, 48performingG4160 signsG4592, whichG3739 goG1607 out to the kingsG935 of the 49wholeG3650 50worldG3625, to 51gatherG4863 them togetherG4863 for the warG4171 of the 52greatG3173 dayG2250 of GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841. 15(“BeholdG2400, 53I am comingG2064 likeG5613 a thiefG2812. 54BlessedG3107 is the one who staysG1127 awakeG1127 and keepsG5083 his clothesG2440, 55soG2443G3361 that he will not walkG4043 aboutG4043 nakedG1131 and men will not seeG991 his shameG808.”) 16And they 56gatheredG4863 them togetherG4863 to the placeG5117 which 57in HebrewG1447 is calledG2564 5859Har-MagedonG717.
Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17ThenG2532 the seventhG1442 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 upon 60the airG109, and a 61loudG3173 voiceG5456 cameG1831 out of the 6263templeG3485 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “64It is doneG1096.” 18And there were flashesG796 of 65lightningG796 and soundsG5456 and pealsG1027 of thunderG1027; and there was 66a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, 67suchG3634 as there had not beenG1096 sinceG575G3739 manG444 cameG1096 to be upon the earthG1093, soG5082 greatG3173 an earthquakeG4578 was it, and soG3779 mightyG3173. 1968The greatG3173 cityG4172 was splitG1096 into threeG5140 partsG3313, and the citiesG4172 of the 69nationsG1484 fellG4098. 70BabylonG897 the greatG3173 was 71rememberedG3403 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 her 72the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of 73His fierceG2372 wrathG3709. 20And 74everyG3956 islandG3520 fledG5343 awayG5343, and the mountainsG3735 were not foundG2147. 21And 75hugeG3173 76hailstonesG5464, aboutG5613 77oneG5006 hundredG5006 poundsG5006 each, cameG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772 upon menG444; and menG444 78blasphemedG987 GodG2316 becauseG1537 of the 79plagueG4127 of the hailG5464, becauseG3754 its plagueG4127 was extremelyG4970 80severeG3173.
