The Seventh Bowl

17 Then the seventh[a] poured out his bowl into the air,[b] and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary[c](A) from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder.

Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger.(D) 20 Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.[e](E) 21 Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds,[f] fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God(F) for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.(G)

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
