The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

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

² The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land,^(D) and ugly, festering sores^(E) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.^(F)

⁸ The fourth angel^(A) poured out his bowl on the sun,^(B) and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.^{(C) 9} They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God,^(D) who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent^(E) and glorify him.^(F)

¹⁰ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,^(G) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.^(H) People gnawed their tongues in agony ¹¹ and cursed^(I) the God of heaven^(J) because of their pains and their sores,^(K) but they refused to repent of what they had done.^(L)
