12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (A)the great river Euphrates, and (B)its water was dried up, (C)to prepare the way for the kings (D)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (E)the dragon and out of the mouth of (F)the beast and out of the mouth of (G)the false prophet, three (H)unclean spirits like (I)frogs. 14 For they are (J)demonic spirits, (K)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (L)to assemble them for battle on (M)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (N)I am coming like a thief! (O)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (P)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (Q)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (R)Armageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (S)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (T)“It is done!” 18 And there were (U)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[a] peals of thunder, and (V)a great earthquake (W)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (X)The great city (Y)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (Z)remembered (AA)Babylon the great, (AB)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And (AC)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (AD)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[b] each, fell from heaven on people; and (AE)they cursed God for (AF)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
