18 “For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: (A)As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. (B)You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more.

He has cut down in (A)fierce anger
    all (B)the might of Israel;
(C)he has withdrawn from them his right hand
    in the face of the enemy;
(D)he has burned like a flaming fire in Jacob,
    consuming all around.

(E)He has bent his bow like an enemy,
    with his right hand set (F)like a foe;
and he has killed all who were delightful in our eyes
    in the tent of the daughter of Zion;
he has poured out his fury like fire.

(G)The Lord has become like an enemy;
    (H)he has swallowed up Israel;
(I)he has swallowed up all its palaces;
    he has laid in ruins its strongholds,
and he has multiplied in the daughter of Judah
    (J)mourning and lamentation.

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.”

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.

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.

The third angel poured out his bowl into (H)the rivers and the springs of water, and (I)they became blood. 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.
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!”

And I heard (P)the altar saying,

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

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (R)with fire. 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. 20 And (BC)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (BD)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and (BE)they cursed God for (BF)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
