The Fall of Jerusalem

39 (A)In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and besieged it. In the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, a breach was made in the city. Then all (B)the officials of the king of Babylon came (C)and sat in the middle gate: Nergal-sar-ezer of Samgar, Nebu-sar-sekim (D)the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, with all the rest of the officers of the king of Babylon. When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled, going out of the city at night by way of the king's garden through the gate between the two walls; and they went toward (E)the Arabah. But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in (F)the plains of Jericho. And when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, at (G)Riblah, in the land of Hamath; (H)and he passed sentence on him. The king of Babylon (I)slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah at (J)Riblah before his eyes, and the king of Babylon (K)slaughtered all the nobles of Judah. (L)He put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains to take him to Babylon. (M)The Chaldeans burned the king's house and the house of the people, (N)and broke down the walls of Jerusalem. Then (O)Nebuzaradan, the (P)captain of the guard, carried into exile to Babylon the rest of the people who were left in the city, (Q)those who had deserted to him, and the people who remained.

So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful (A)sores came upon the people who bore (B)the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and (C)it became like the blood of a corpse, and (D)every living thing died that was in the sea.

The third angel poured out his bowl into (E)the rivers and the springs of water, and (F)they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,

(G)“Just are you, (H)O Holy One, (I)who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
For (J)they have shed the blood of (K)saints and prophets,
    and (L)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”

And I heard (M)the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    (N)true and just are your judgments!”

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (O)with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and (P)they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. (Q)They did not repent (R)and give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on (S)the throne of the beast, and (T)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed (U)the God of heaven for their pain and (V)sores. (W)They did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (X)the great river Euphrates, and (Y)its water was dried up, (Z)to prepare the way for the kings (AA)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (AB)the dragon and out of the mouth of (AC)the beast and out of the mouth of (AD)the false prophet, three (AE)unclean spirits like (AF)frogs. 14 For they are (AG)demonic spirits, (AH)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (AI)to assemble them for battle on (AJ)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AK)I am coming like a thief! (AL)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (AM)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (AN)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (AO)Armageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (AP)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (AQ)“It is done!” 18 And there were (AR)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and (AS)a great earthquake (AT)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (AU)The great city (AV)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (AW)remembered (AX)Babylon the great, (AY)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And (AZ)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (BA)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and (BB)they cursed God for (BC)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.

(A)And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem, and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it. So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled and went out from the city by night by the way of a gate between the two walls, by the king's garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him. 10 The king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and also slaughtered all the officials of Judah at (B)Riblah. 11 (C)He put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in chains, and the king of Babylon took him to Babylon, and put him in prison (D)till the day of his death.
