Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

The angels pour out their vials full of wrath.

16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways; pour out your vials of wrath upon the earth.

² And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth, and there fell a foul and a grievous sore upon all who had the mark of the beast, and upon those who worshipped his image.

³ And the second angel shed out his vial upon the sea, and it turned as it were into the blood of a dead man. And every living thing died in the sea.

⁴ And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and springs of waters, and they turned to blood. ⁵ And I heard an angel say, Lord who is and who was, you are righteous and holy, because you have given such judgments. ⁶ For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and therefore you have given them blood to drink, for they have deserved it.

⁷ And I heard another out of the altar say, It is so, Lord God Almighty; true and righteous are your judgments.
