Revelation 16:2-21

2SoG2532 the firstG4413 angel wentG565 and pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 12on the earthG1093; and it becameG1096 a loathsomeG2556 and malignantG4190 3soreG1668 on the 4peopleG444 5who hadG2192 the markG5480 of the beastG2342 and who worshipedG4352 his imageG1504.

3The secondG1208 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 6into the seaG2281, and it becameG1096 bloodG129 likeG5613 that of a deadG3498 manG3498; and everyG3956 livingG2222 7thingG5590 in the seaG2281 diedG599.

4ThenG2532 the thirdG5154 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 into the 8riversG4215 and the springsG4077 of watersG5204; and they 9becameG1096 bloodG129. 5And I heardG191 the angelG32 of the watersG5204 sayingG3004, “10RighteousG1342 are You, 11who are and whoG3588 were, O 12HolyG3741 OneG3741, becauseG3754 You 13judgedG2919 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 6for they pouredG1632 out 14the bloodG129 of saintsG40 and prophetsG4396, and You have givenG1325 them 15bloodG129 to drinkG4095. They 16deserveG514 it.” 7And I heardG191 17the altarG2379 sayingG3004, “YesG3483, O 18LordG2962 GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841, 19trueG228 and righteousG1342 are Your judgmentsG2920.”

8The fourthG5067 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 upon 20the sunG2246, 21and it was givenG1325 to it to scorchG2739 menG444 with fireG4442. 9MenG444 were scorchedG2739 with 22fierceG3173 heatG2738; and they 23blasphemedG987 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 who hasG2192 the powerG1849 overG1909 theseG3778 plaguesG4127, and they 24did not repentG3340 so as to 25giveG1325 Him gloryG1391.

10ThenG2532 the fifthG3991 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 on the 26throneG2362 of the beastG2342, and his kingdomG932 becameG1096 27darkenedG4656; and they gnawedG3145 their tonguesG1100 becauseG1537 of painG4192, 11and they 28blasphemedG987 the 29GodG2316 of heavenG3772 becauseG1537 of their painsG4192 and their 30soresG1668; and they 31did not repentG3340 of their deedsG2041.

12The sixthG1623 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 on the 32greatG3173 riverG4215, the EuphratesG2166; and 33its waterG5204 was driedG3583 up, soG2443 that 34the wayG3598 would be preparedG2090 for the kingsG935 35from the 36eastG395G2246. 13And I sawG3708 coming out of the mouthG4750 of the 37dragonG1404 and out of the mouthG4750 of the 38beastG2342 and out of the mouthG4750 of the 39falseG5578 prophetG5578, threeG5140 40uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 likeG5613 41frogsG944; 14for they are 42spiritsG4151 of demonsG1140, 43performingG4160 signsG4592, whichG3739 goG1607 out to the kingsG935 of the 44wholeG3650 45worldG3625, to 46gatherG4863 them togetherG4863 for the warG4171 of the 47greatG3173 dayG2250 of GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841. 15(“BeholdG2400, 48I am comingG2064 likeG5613 a thiefG2812. 49BlessedG3107 is the one who staysG1127 awakeG1127 and keepsG5083 his clothesG2440, 50soG2443G3361 that he will not walkG4043 aboutG4043 nakedG1131 and men will not seeG991 his shameG808.”) 16And they 51gatheredG4863 them togetherG4863 to the placeG5117 which 52in HebrewG1447 is calledG2564 5354Har-MagedonG717.

17ThenG2532 the seventhG1442 angel pouredG1632 out his bowlG5357 upon 55the airG109, and a 56loudG3173 voiceG5456 cameG1831 out of the 5758templeG3485 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “59It is doneG1096.” 18And there were flashesG796 of 60lightningG796 and soundsG5456 and pealsG1027 of thunderG1027; and there was 61a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, 62suchG3634 as there had not beenG1096 sinceG575G3739 manG444 cameG1096 to be upon the earthG1093, soG5082 greatG3173 an earthquakeG4578 was it, and soG3779 mightyG3173. 1963The greatG3173 cityG4172 was splitG1096 into threeG5140 partsG3313, and the citiesG4172 of the 64nationsG1484 fellG4098. 65BabylonG897 the greatG3173 was 66rememberedG3403 beforeG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 her 67the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of 68His fierceG2372 wrathG3709. 20And 69everyG3956 islandG3520 fledG5343 awayG5343, and the mountainsG3735 were not foundG2147. 21And 70hugeG3173 71hailstonesG5464, aboutG5613 72oneG5006 hundredG5006 poundsG5006 each, cameG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772 upon menG444; and menG444 73blasphemedG987 GodG2316 becauseG1537 of the 74plagueG4127 of the hailG5464, becauseG3754 its plagueG4127 was extremelyG4970 75severeG3173.
