After this I looked, and I saw in heaven the temple(A)—that is, the tabernacle of the covenant law(B)—and it was opened.(C) Out of the temple(D) came the seven angels with the seven plagues.(E) They were dressed in clean, shining linen(F) and wore golden sashes around their chests.(G) Then one of the four living creatures(H) gave to the seven angels(I) seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God, who lives for ever and ever.(J) And the temple was filled with smoke(K) from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple(L) until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple(M) saying to the seven angels,(N) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”(O)

And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
