The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling (A)the seven angels, “Go and (B)pour out on the earth (C)the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful (D)sores came upon the people who bore (E)the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and (F)it became like the blood of a corpse, and (G)every living thing died that was in the sea.
4 The third angel poured out his bowl into (H)the rivers and the springs of water, and (I)they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,
(J)“Just are you, (K)O Holy One, (L)who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6 For (M)they have shed the blood of (N)saints and prophets,
and (O)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard (P)the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
(Q)true and just are your judgments!”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (R)with fire. 9 They were scorched by the fierce heat, and (S)they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. (T)They did not repent (U)and give him glory.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on (V)the throne of the beast, and (W)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed (X)the God of heaven for their pain and (Y)sores. (Z)They did not repent of their deeds.
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (AA)the great river Euphrates, and (AB)its water was dried up, (AC)to prepare the way for the kings (AD)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (AE)the dragon and out of the mouth of (AF)the beast and out of the mouth of (AG)the false prophet, three (AH)unclean spirits like (AI)frogs. 14 For they are (AJ)demonic spirits, (AK)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (AL)to assemble them for battle on (AM)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AN)I am coming like a thief! (AO)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (AP)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (AQ)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (AR)Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (AS)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (AT)“It is done!” 18 And there were (AU)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and (AV)a great earthquake (AW)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (AX)The great city (AY)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (AZ)remembered (BA)Babylon the great, (BB)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple(A) saying to the seven angels,(B) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(C)
2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,(D) and ugly, festering sores(E) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.(F)
3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.(G)
4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water,(H) and they became blood.(I) 5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:
“You are just in these judgments,(J) O Holy One,(K)
you who are and who were;(L)
6 for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,(M)
and you have given them blood to drink(N) as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar(O) respond:
8 The fourth angel(R) poured out his bowl on the sun,(S) and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.(T) 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God,(U) who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent(V) and glorify him.(W)
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,(X) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.(Y) People gnawed their tongues in agony 11 and cursed(Z) the God of heaven(AA) because of their pains and their sores,(AB) but they refused to repent of what they had done.(AC)
12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,(AD) and its water was dried up to prepare the way(AE) for the kings from the East.(AF) 13 Then I saw three impure spirits(AG) that looked like frogs;(AH) they came out of the mouth of the dragon,(AI) out of the mouth of the beast(AJ) and out of the mouth of the false prophet.(AK) 14 They are demonic spirits(AL) that perform signs,(AM) and they go out to the kings of the whole world,(AN) to gather them for the battle(AO) on the great day(AP) of God Almighty.
15 “Look, I come like a thief!(AQ) Blessed is the one who stays awake(AR) and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”(AS)
16 Then they gathered the kings together(AT) to the place that in Hebrew(AU) is called Armageddon.(AV)
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,(AW) and out of the temple(AX) came a loud voice(AY) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”(AZ) 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder(BA) and a severe earthquake.(BB) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,(BC) so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city(BD) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered(BE) Babylon the Great(BF) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.(BG)

36 “And the king shall (A)do as he wills. (B)He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, (C)and shall speak astonishing things against (D)the God of gods. (E)He shall prosper (F)till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for (G)he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor (H)with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and (I)shall divide the land for a price.[a]
40 (J)“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack[b] him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him (K)like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and (L)shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into (M)the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: (N)Edom and (O)Moab and the main part of the (P)Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the (Q)Libyans and the (R)Cushites shall follow in his train. 44 But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

The King Who Exalts Himself
36 “The king will do as he pleases. He will exalt and magnify himself(A) above every god and will say unheard-of things(B) against the God of gods.(C) He will be successful until the time of wrath(D) is completed, for what has been determined must take place.(E) 37 He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. 38 Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He will attack the mightiest fortresses with the help of a foreign god and will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will distribute the land at a price.[a]
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South(F) will engage him in battle, and the king of the North will storm(G) out against him with chariots and cavalry and a great fleet of ships. He will invade many countries and sweep through them like a flood.(H) 41 He will also invade the Beautiful Land.(I) Many countries will fall, but Edom,(J) Moab(K) and the leaders of Ammon will be delivered from his hand. 42 He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. 43 He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt,(L) with the Libyans(M) and Cushites[b] in submission. 44 But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many. 45 He will pitch his royal tents between the seas at[c] the beautiful holy mountain.(N) Yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

9 You will advance, coming on (A)like a storm. You will be (B)like a cloud covering the land, you and all your (C)hordes, and many peoples with you.
10 “Thus says the Lord God: On that day, (D)thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme 11 and say, ‘I will go up against (E)the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon (F)the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ 12 to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against (G)the waste places that are now inhabited, and (H)the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, (I)who dwell at the center of the earth. 13 (J)Sheba and (K)Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all (L)its leaders[a] will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil? Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’
14 “Therefore, (M)son of man, prophesy, and say to (N)Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are (O)dwelling securely, (P)will you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of (Q)the uttermost parts of the north, you and (R)many peoples with you, (S)all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, (T)like a cloud covering the land. (U)In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, (V)I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
17 “Thus says the Lord God: Are you (W)he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them? 18 But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares the Lord God, (X)my wrath will be roused in my anger. 19 For (Y)in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day (Z)there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. 20 (AA)The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, (AB)shall quake at my presence. And (AC)the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground. 21 (AD)I will summon a sword against Gog[b] on all my mountains, declares the Lord God. (AE)Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 With pestilence and bloodshed (AF)I will enter into judgment with him, and (AG)I will rain upon him and (AH)his hordes and the many peoples who are with him (AI)torrential rains and hailstones, (AJ)fire and sulfur. 23 So I will show my greatness and my (AK)holiness and (AL)make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then (AM)they will know that I am the Lord.
39 “And you, (AN)son of man, (AO)prophesy against (AP)Gog and say, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, (AQ)I am against you, O Gog, (AR)chief prince of (AS)Meshech[c] and (AT)Tubal. 2 (AU)And I will turn you about and drive you forward,[d] and bring you up from (AV)the uttermost parts of the north, and lead you against the (AW)mountains of Israel. 3 Then (AX)I will strike your bow from your left hand, and (AY)will make your arrows drop out of your right hand. 4 (AZ)You shall fall on (BA)the mountains of Israel, you and all your (BB)hordes and the peoples who are with you. (BC)I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall in the open field, for (BD)I have spoken, declares the Lord God. 6 (BE)I will send fire on (BF)Magog and on those (BG)who dwell securely in (BH)the coastlands, and (BI)they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 “And (BJ)my holy name I will make known in the midst of my people Israel, and (BK)I will not let my holy name be profaned anymore.

53 Though Babylon should (A)mount up to heaven,
and though she should (B)fortify her strong height,
yet destroyers would come from me against her,
declares the Lord.
54 (C)“A voice! A cry from Babylon!
The noise of great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans!
55 For the Lord is laying Babylon waste
and stilling her mighty voice.
(D)Their waves roar like many waters;
the noise of their voice is raised,
56 for a destroyer has come upon her,
upon Babylon;
her warriors are taken;
their bows are broken in pieces,
(E)for the Lord is a God of recompense;
he will surely repay.
57 (F)I will make drunk her officials and her wise men,
(G)her governors, her commanders, and her warriors;
they shall sleep a perpetual sleep and not wake,
declares (H)the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

Waves(F) of enemies will rage like great waters;
the roar of their voices will resound.
