17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,(A) and out of the temple(B) came a loud voice(C) from the throne, saying, “It is done!”(D) 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder(E) and a severe earthquake.(F) No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth,(G) so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city(H) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered(I) Babylon the Great(J) and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.(K) 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.(L) 21 From the sky huge hailstones,(M) each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people. And they cursed God(N) on account of the plague of hail,(O) because the plague was so terrible.

God remembered to give Babylon the Great the cup of wine filled with the fury of his wrath. 20 Every island vanished,[b] and the mountains could no longer be found. 21 Huge hailstones, each weighing about a talent,[c] fell from the sky on people, who cursed God because the plague of hail was so terrible.
