^16 (A)and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who ^(B)sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! ¹⁷ For the great day of His wrath has come, ^(C)and who is able to stand?”

⁵ Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And ^(A)there were noises, thunderings, ^(B)lightnings, ^(C)and an earthquake.

¹³ In the same hour ^(A)there was a great earthquake, ^(B)and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid ^(C)and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Reaping the Grapes of Wrath

¹⁷ Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

¹⁸ And another angel came out from the altar, ^(A)who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, ^(B)“Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” ¹⁹ So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into ^(C)the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And ^(D)the winepress was trampled ^(E)outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, ^(F)up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred ^[a]furlongs.

The Seven Bowls

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying ^(A)to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the ^[a]bowls ^(B)of the wrath of God on the earth.”

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

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. Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, since that plague was exceedingly great.

Seventh Bowl: The Earth Utterly Shaken

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 ^(A)there were noises and thunderings and lightnings; ^(B)and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake ^(C)as had not occurred since men were on the earth.

Heaven Exults over Babylon

19 After these things ^(A)I ^[a]heard a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Alleluia! ^(B)Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to ^[b]the Lord our God! ² For ^(C)true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He ^(D)has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.” ³ Again they said, “Alleluia! ^(E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” ⁴ And ^(F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, ^(G)“Amen! Alleluia!” ⁵ Then a voice came from the throne, saying, ^(H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, ^(I)both^[c] small and great!”

^6 (J)And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For ^(K)the^[d] Lord God Omnipotent reigns!
