Revelation 16
New American Standard Bible 2020
The Bowls of Wrath
1ThenG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 from 1the 2templeG3485, sayingG3004 to the 3sevenG2033 angelsG32, “GoG5217 and 4pourG1632 outG1632 on the earthG1093 the sevenG2033 bowlsG5357 of the wrathG2372 of GodG2316.”
2SoG2532 the firstG4413 angel wentG565 and pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 5on the earthG1093; and a harmfulG2556 and painfulG4190 6soreG1668 7afflictedG1096G1909 the peopleG444 8who hadG2192 the markG5480 of the beastG2342 and who worshipedG4352 his imageG1504.
3The secondG1208 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 9into the seaG2281, and it becameG1096 bloodG129 likeG5613 that of a deadG3498 manG3498; and everyG3956 livingG2222 10thingG5590 in the seaG2281 diedG599.
4ThenG2532 the thirdG5154 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 into the 11riversG4215 and the springsG4077 of watersG5204; and they 12becameG1096 bloodG129. 5And I heardG191 the angelG32 of the watersG5204 sayingG3004, “13RighteousG1342 are You, 14the One who is and who was, O 15HolyG3741 OneG3741, becauseG3754 You 16judgedG2919 theseG3778 thingsG3778; 6for they pouredG1632 outG1632 17the bloodG129 of saintsG40 and prophetsG4396, and You have givenG1325 them 18bloodG129 to drinkG4095. They 19deserveG514 it.” 7And I heardG191 20the altarG2379 sayingG3004, “YesG3483, 21LordG2962 GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841, 22trueG228 and righteousG1342 are Your judgmentsG2920.”
8And the fourthG5067 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 upon 23the sunG2246, 24and it was givenG1325 power to scorchG2739 peopleG444 with fireG4442. 9And the peopleG444 were scorchedG2739 with 25fierceG3173 heatG2738; and they 26blasphemedG987 the nameG3686 of GodG2316 who hasG2192 the powerG1849 overG1909 theseG3778 plaguesG4127, and they 27did not repentG3340 so as to 28giveG1325 Him gloryG1391.
10And the fifthG3991 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 on the 29throneG2362 of the beastG2342, and his kingdomG932 becameG1096 30darkenedG4656; and they gnawedG3145 their tonguesG1100 becauseG1537 of painG4192, 11and they 31blasphemedG987 the 32GodG2316 of heavenG3772 becauseG1537 of their painG4192 and their 33soresG1668; and they 34did not repentG3340 of their deedsG2041.
12The sixthG1623 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 on the 35greatG3173 riverG4215, the EuphratesG2166; and 36its waterG5204 was driedG3583 up, soG2443 thatG2443 37the wayG3598 would be preparedG2090 for the kingsG935 38from the 39eastG395G2246.
Har-Magedon (Armageddon)
13And I sawG3708 coming out of the mouthG4750 of the 40dragonG1404, and out of the mouthG4750 of the 41beastG2342, and out of the mouthG4750 of the 42falseG5578 prophetG5578, threeG5140 43uncleanG169 spiritsG4151 likeG5613 44frogsG944; 14for they are 45spiritsG4151 of demonsG1140, 46performingG4160 signsG4592, whichG3739 goG1607 outG1607 to the kingsG935 of the 47entireG3650 48worldG3625, to 49gatherG4863 them togetherG4863 for the warG4171 of the 50greatG3173 dayG2250 of GodG2316, the AlmightyG3841. 15(“BeholdG2400, 51I am comingG2064 likeG5613 a thiefG2812. 52BlessedG3107 is the one who staysG1127 awakeG1127 and keepsG5083 his clothesG2440, 53soG2443 thatG2443 he will not walkG4043 aboutG4043 nakedG1131 and people will not seeG991 his shameG808.”) 16And they 54gatheredG4863 them togetherG4863 to the placeG5117 which 55in HebrewG1447 is calledG2564 56Har-MagedonG717.
The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17ThenG2532 the seventhG1442 angel pouredG1632 outG1632 his bowlG5357 upon 57the airG109, and a 58loudG3173 voiceG5456 cameG1831 outG1831 of the 5960templeG3485 from the throneG2362, sayingG3004, “61It is doneG1096.” 18And there were flashesG796 ofG796 62lightningG796 and soundsG5456 and pealsG1027 ofG1027 thunderG1027; and there was 63a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578, 64suchG3634 as there had not beenG1096 sinceG575G3739 mankindG444 cameG1096 to be upon the earthG1093, soG5082 greatG3173 an earthquakeG4578 was it, and soG3779 mightyG3173. 1965The greatG3173 cityG4172 66was splitG1096 into threeG5140 partsG3313, and the citiesG4172 of the 67nationsG1484 fellG4098. 68BabylonG897 the greatG3173 was 69rememberedG3403 inG1799 theG1799 sightG1799 ofG1799 GodG2316, to giveG1325 her 70the cupG4221 of the wineG3631 of 71His fierceG2372 wrathG3709. 20And 72everyG3956 islandG3520 fledG5343, and noG3756 mountainsG3735 were foundG2147. 21And 73hugeG3173 74hailstonesG5464, weighingG5006 aboutG5613 75aG5006 talentG5006 each, cameG2597 downG2597 from heavenG3772 upon peopleG444; and peopleG444 76blasphemedG987 GodG2316 becauseG1537 of the 77plagueG4127 of the hailG5464, becauseG3754 78the hailstone plagueG4127 was extremelyG4970 79severeG3173.
