Psalm 90:1-8

New International Version

BOOK IV

Psalms 90–106

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

¹Lord, you have been our dwelling place^(A)
    throughout all generations.
²Before the mountains were born^(B)
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting^(C) you are God.^(D)

³You turn people back to dust,
    saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”^(E)
⁴A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.^(F)
⁵Yet you sweep people away^(G) in the sleep of death—
    they are like the new grass of the morning:
⁶In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.^(H)

⁷We are consumed by your anger
and terrified by your indignation.
⁸You have set our iniquities before you,
our secret sins^(I) in the light of your presence.^(J)

New International Version

The End Has Come

7 The word of the Lord came to me: ²“Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to the land of Israel:

“‘The end!^(A) The end has come
    upon the four corners^(B) of the land!
³The end is now upon you,
    and I will unleash my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct^(C)
    and repay you for all your detestable practices.^(D)
⁴I will not look on you with pity;^(E)
    I will not spare you.
I will surely repay you for your conduct
    and for the detestable practices among you.

“‘Then you will know that I am the Lord.’^(F)

⁵“This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“‘Disaster!^(G) Unheard-of^[a] disaster!
    See, it comes!
⁶The end^(H) has come!
    The end has come!
It has roused itself against you.
    See, it comes!
⁷Doom has come upon you,
    upon you who dwell in the land.
The time has come! The day^(I) is near!^(J)
    There is panic, not joy, on the mountains.
⁸I am about to pour out my wrath^(K) on you
    and spend my anger against you.
I will judge you according to your conduct
    and repay you for all your detestable practices.^(L)
⁹I will not look on you with pity;
    I will not spare you.^(M)
I will repay you for your conduct
    and for the detestable practices among you.^(N)

“‘Then you will know that it is I the Lord who strikes you.^(O)

Revelation 16:8-21

New International Version

⁸The fourth angel^(A) poured out his bowl on the sun,^(B) and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.^(C) ⁹They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God,^(D) who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent^(E) and glorify him.^(F)

¹⁰The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,^(G) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.^(H) People gnawed their tongues in agony ¹¹and cursed^(I) the God of heaven^(J) because of their pains and their sores,^(K) but they refused to repent of what they had done.^(L)

¹²The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,^(M) and its water was dried up to prepare the way^(N) for the kings from the East.^(O) ¹³Then I saw three impure spirits^(P) that looked like frogs;^(Q) they came out of the mouth of the dragon,^(R) out of the mouth of the beast^(S) and out of the mouth of the false prophet.^(T) ¹⁴They are demonic spirits^(U) that perform signs,^(V) and they go out to the kings of the whole world,^(W) to gather them for the battle^(X) on the great day^(Y) of God Almighty.

¹⁵“Look, I come like a thief!^(Z) Blessed is the one who stays awake^(AA) and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”^(AB)

¹⁶Then they gathered the kings together^(AC) to the place that in Hebrew^(AD) is called Armageddon.^(AE)

¹⁷The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,^(AF) and out of the temple^(AG) came a loud voice^(AH) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”^(AI) ¹⁸Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder^(AJ) and a severe earthquake.^(AK) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,^(AL) so tremendous was the quake. ¹⁹The great city^(AM) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered^(AN) Babylon the Great^(AO) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.^(AP) ²⁰Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.^(AQ) ²¹From the sky huge hailstones,^(AR) each weighing about a hundred pounds,^[a] fell on people. And they cursed God^(AS) on account of the plague of hail,^(AT) because the plague was so terrible.
