The Bowls of Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from ^(A)the ^[a]temple, saying to the ^(B)seven angels, “Go and ^(C)pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

² So the first angel went and poured out his bowl ^(D)on the earth; and a harmful and painful ^(E)sore ^[b]afflicted the people ^(F)who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

³ The second angel poured out his bowl ^(G)into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living ^[c]thing in the sea died.

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the ^(H)rivers and the springs of waters; and they ^(I)became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “^(J)Righteous are You, ^(K)the One who is and who was, O ^(L)Holy One, because You ^(M)judged these things; ⁶ for they poured out ^(N)the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them ^(O)blood to drink. They ^[d]deserve it.” ⁷ And I heard ^(P)the altar saying, “Yes, ^(Q)Lord God, the Almighty, ^(R)true and righteous are Your judgments.”

⁸ And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon ^(S)the sun, ^(T)and it was given power to scorch people with fire. ⁹ And the people were scorched with ^[e]fierce heat; and they ^(U)blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they ^(V)did not repent so as to ^(W)give Him glory.

¹⁰ And the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the ^(X)throne of the beast, and his kingdom became ^(Y)darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, ¹¹ and they ^(Z)blasphemed the ^(AA)God of heaven because of their pain and their ^(AB)sores; and they ^(AC)did not repent of their deeds.
