17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, (A)“It is done!” 18 And (B)there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; (C)and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake (D)as had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now (E)the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And (F)great Babylon (G)was remembered before God, (H)to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then (I)every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail from heaven fell upon men, each hailstone about the weight of a talent.

17 And the seventh poured out his bowl on the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there were lightnings and sounds and thunders, and there was a great earthquake, as has not happened from the time humanity has been on the earth—so great in this way was the earthquake. 19 And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of his furious wrath.[a] 20 And every island fled, and mountains were not found. 21 And large hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds,[b] came down from the sky upon people, and the people blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, because the plague of it was very great.
