Revelation 16

1 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary say to the seven angels, "Go and pour on to the earth the seven bowls of the anger of God."

Then I heard a loud voice, which came from the Temple, saying to the seven angels — ‘Go and empty the seven bowls of the Wrath of God upon the earth.’

2 So the first angel went away and poured his bowl on to the earth; and it brought a bad and painful sore upon the men who had on them the mark of the Wild Beast and worshipped his statue.

The first angel went and emptied his bowl upon the earth; and it turned to loathsome and painful sores upon all who bore the brand of the Beast and who worshiped its image.

3 The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became blood, like a dead man's blood, and every living creature in the sea died.

Then the second angel emptied his bowl upon the sea; and it turned to blood like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died — everything in the sea.

4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

Then the third angel emptied his bowl upon the rivers and springs of water; and it turned to blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, "Righteous art Thou, who art and wast, the holy One, because Thou hast thus taken vengeance.

And I heard the Angel of the Waters saying — ‘Righteous art thou, thou who art and who wast, the Holy One, in inflicting this judgment;

6 For they poured out the blood of Thy people and of the Prophets, and in return Thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved."

for men shed the blood of Christ’s People and of the Prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve.’

7 And I heard a voice from the altar say, "Even so, O Lord God, the Ruler of all, true and righteous are Thy judgments."

And I heard the response from the altar — ‘Yes, O Lord, our God, the Almighty, true and righteous are they judgments.’

8 Then the fourth angel poured his bowl on to the sun, and power was given to it to scorch men with fire.

Then the fourth angel emptied his bowl upon the sun; and he was permitted to scorch men with fire;

9 And the men were severely burned; and yet they spoke evil of God who had power over the plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

and men were scorched by the intense heat. They blasphemed the Name of God who controlled these Curses, yet they did not repent and give him praise.

10 The fifth angel poured his bowl on to the throne of the Wild Beast; and his kingdom became darkened. People gnawed their tongues because of the pain,

Then the fifth angel emptied his bowl upon the throne of the Beast; and darkness fell upon its Kingdom. Men gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 and they spoke evil of the God in Heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their misconduct.

and blasphemed the God of Heaven, because of their pains and because of their sores; yet they did not repent of what they had done.

12 The sixth angel poured his bowl into that great river, the Euphrates; and its stream was dried up in order to clear the way for the kings who are to come from the east.

Then the sixth angel emptied his bowl upon the great river Euphrates; and the water in the river was dried up, so that the road for the Kings of the East might be made ready.

13 Then I saw three foul spirits, resembling frogs, issue from the mouth of the Dragon, from the mouth of the Wild Beast, and from the mouth of the false Prophet.

And I saw three foul spirits, like frogs, come from the mouth of the Dragon and from the mouth of the Beast and from the mouth of the false Prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of demons working marvels--spirits that go out to control the kings of the whole earth, to assemble them for the battle which is to take place on the great day of God, the Ruler of all.

They are the spirits of demons, and perform marvels; they go to kings all over the world, to collect them for the battle on the Great Day of Almighty God.

15 ("I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the man who keeps awake and guards his raiment for fear he walk about ill-clad, and his uncomeliness become manifest.")

(‘I am coming like a thief! Happy will he be who is on the watch, and keeps his clothing at hand, so that he will not have to walk about unclothed and let men see his nakedness.’)

16 And assemble them they did at the place called in Hebrew 'Har-Magedon.'

And the spirits collected the kings at the place called in Hebrew ‘Har-Magedon.’

17 Then the seventh angel poured his bowl into the air; and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying, "Everything is now ready."

Then the seventh Angel emptied his bowl upon the air. (A loud voice came from the throne in the Temple; it said ‘All is over.’)

18 Flashes of lightning followed, and voices, and peals of thunder, and an earthquake more dreadful than there had ever been since there was a man upon the earth--so terrible was it, and so great!

There followed ‘flashes of lightning, cries, and peals of thunder’; and there was a great earthquake, such as had not occurred since man began to be upon the earth — none so great;

19 The great city was split into three parts; the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came into remembrance before God, for Him to make her drink from the wine-cup of His fierce anger.

and the great City was torn in three, and the cities of the nation fell, and God remembered Babylon the Great, and gave her the maddening wine-cup of his Wrath;

20 Every island fled away, and there was not a mountain anywhere to be seen.

and every island vanished, and the mountains disappeared.

21 And heavy hail, that seemed to be a talent in weight, fell from the sky upon the people; and they spoke evil of God on account of the plague of the hail--because the plague of it was exceedingly severe.

Great hailstones, a pound in weight, are falling upon men from the heavens. And men blasphemed God because of the Curse of the hail, for it was a very terrible Curse.
