Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying ato the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls bof the wrath of God on the earth.”
First Bowl: Loathsome Sores
2 So the first went and poured out his bowl aupon the earth, and a foul and bloathsome sore came upon the men cwho had the mark of the beast and those dwho worshiped his image.
Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood
3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl aon the sea, and bit became blood as of a dead man; cand every living creature in the sea died.
Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl aon the rivers and springs of water, band they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
a“You are righteous, O Lord,
The One bwho is and who was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.
6 For athey have shed the blood bof saints and prophets,
cAnd You have given them blood to drink.
For it is their just due.”
7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, aLord God Almighty, btrue and righteous are Your judgments.”
Fourth Bowl: Men Are Scorched
8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl aon the sun, band power was given to him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they ablasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; band they did not repent cand give Him glory.
Fifth Bowl: Darkness and Pain
10 Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl aon the throne of the beast, band his kingdom became full of darkness; cand they gnawed their tongues because of the pain. 11 They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
Sixth Bowl: Euphrates Dried Up
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl aon the great river Euphrates, band its water was dried up, cso that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean aspirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of bthe dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of cthe false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, aperforming signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of bthe whole world, to gather them to cthe battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 a“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, blest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
16 aAnd they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
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 athere were noises and thunderings and lightnings; band there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake cas had not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 Now athe great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And bgreat Babylon cwas remembered before God, dto give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 Then aevery 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. The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson.
