Revelation 16:17-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a violent earthquake, such as had not occurred since people were upon the earth, so violent was that earthquake.(A) 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered great Babylon and gave her the wine cup of the fury of his wrath.(B) 20 And every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found, 21 and huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] dropped from heaven on people, until they cursed God for the plague of the hail, so fearful was that plague.(C)

The Seventh Bowl of Wrath
17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon (A)the air, and a (B)loud voice came out of the [a](C)temple from the throne, saying, “(D)It is done.” 18 And there were flashes of (E)lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was (F)a great earthquake, (G)such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. 19 (H)The great city [b]was split into three parts, and the cities of the [c]nations fell. (I)Babylon the great was (J)remembered in the sight of God, to give her (K)the cup of the wine of [d]His fierce wrath. 20 And (L)every island fled, and no mountains were found. 21 And (M)huge [e]hailstones, weighing about [f]a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people (N)blasphemed God because of the (O)plague of the hail, because [g]the hailstone plague *was extremely [h]severe.
