16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the
seven angels, Go, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God
upon the earth.
16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth;
and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who had
the mark of the beast, and [upon] them who worshiped his image.
16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and
it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul
died in the sea.
16:4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and
fountains of waters; and they became blood.
16:5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art
righteous, O Lord, who art, and wast, and wilt be, because thou
hast judged thus.
16:6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and
thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
16:7 And I heard another from the altar say, Even so, Lord God
Almighty, true and righteous [are] thy judgments.
16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
16:9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the
name of God, who hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory.
16:10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of
the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they
gnawed their tongues for pain,
16:11 And blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains
and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates; and the water of it was dried up, that the way
of the kings of the east might be prepared.
16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of
the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and
out of the mouth of the false prophet.
16:14 For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles,
[which] go forth to the kings of the earth, and of the whole
world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty.
16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed [is] he that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his
shame.
16:16 And he gathered them into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.
16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air;
and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, It is done.
16:18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and
there was a great earthquake, such as hath not been since men
were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, [and] so great.
16:19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the
cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in
remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of
the fierceness of his wrath.
16:20 And every isle fled away, and the mountains were not
found.
16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every
stone] about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the hail; for the plague of it was
exceeding great.
