The First Bowl

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven^[a] bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” ² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores^[b](A) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

The Second Bowl

³ The second^[c] poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like a dead man’s, and all life^[d] in the sea died.^(B)

The Third Bowl

⁴ The third^[e] poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.^{(C) 5} I heard the angel of the waters say:

⁷ Then I heard someone from the altar say:

The Fourth Bowl

⁸ The fourth^[f] poured out his bowl on the sun. He^[g] was given the power^[h] to burn people with fire, ⁹ and people were burned by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God,^(G) who had the power^[i] over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory.

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰ The fifth^[j] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,^(H) and his kingdom was plunged into darkness.^(I) People^[k] gnawed their tongues because of their pain ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven^(J) because of their pains and their sores, yet they did not repent of their actions.

The Sixth Bowl

¹² The sixth^[l] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,^(K) and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs^(L) coming from the dragon’s mouth,^(M) from the beast’s mouth,^(N) and from the mouth of the false prophet.^{(O) 14} For they are spirits of demons performing signs,^(P) who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty.^(Q)

¹⁵ “Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed^[m](R) so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame^(S) is blessed.”^(T)

¹⁶ So they assembled them at the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon.^[n][o](U)

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷ Then the seventh^[p] poured out his bowl into the air,^[q] and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary^[r](V) from the throne, saying, “It is done!” ¹⁸ There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth—so great was the quake.^{(W) 19} The great city^(X) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations^[s] fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger.^{(Y) 20} Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.^{[t](Z) 21} Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds,^[u] fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God^(AA) for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.^(AB)
