The Sixth Bowl

12 The sixth[a] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,(A) 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(B) coming from the dragon’s mouth,(C) from the beast’s mouth,(D) and from the mouth of the false prophet.(E) 14 For they are spirits of demons performing signs,(F) who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them for the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty.(G)

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

16 So they assembled them at the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon.[c][d](K)
