for in the fire of my jealousy
    (C)all the earth shall be consumed.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (A)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (B)“It is done!”

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.

After this I looked, and (A)the sanctuary of (B)the tent[a] of witness in heaven was opened, and out of the sanctuary came (C)the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright (D)linen, (E)with golden sashes around their chests. And one of (F)the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven (G)golden bowls full of the wrath of God (H)who lives forever and ever, and (I)the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and (J)no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

(C)Kill old men outright, young men and maidens, little children and women, but (D)touch no one on whom is the mark. And (E)begin at my sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the house. Then he said to them, (F)“Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out.” So they went out and struck in the city. And while they were striking, and I was left alone, (G)I fell upon my face, and cried, (H)“Ah, Lord God! (I)Will you destroy all the remnant of Israel (J)in the outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
