Revelation 16

1And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.

1Then I heard a loud voice calling from the temple to the seven angels, 'Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s anger onto the earth.'

2And the first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth; and it became a noisome and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and that worshipped his image.

2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and painful, ugly sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its statue.

3And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living soul died, even the things that were in the sea.

3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

4And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the fountains of the waters; and it became blood.

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

5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge:

5Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say, 'You are just, O Holy One, who is and who was, for bringing these judgments.

6for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.

6Since they shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets, you have given them blood to drink; they have gotten what they deserve.'

7And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

7And I heard the altar respond, 'Yes, Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and fair.'

8And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given unto it to scorch men with fire.

8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to burn people with fire.

9And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God who hath the power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.

9People were scorched by the intense heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and give him glory.

10And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom was darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness; people gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

11and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they repented not of their works.

11They cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they did not turn away from the evil things they had done.

12And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might be made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising.

12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs:

13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, the mouth of the beast, and the mouth of the false prophet.

14for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.

14These are demonic spirits that perform miracles; they go out to all the kings of the world to gather them for battle on the great day of God Almighty.

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.)

15'Look, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes ready, so he does not have to walk around naked and be ashamed in public.'

16And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.

16Then the spirits gathered the kings together to the place that is called Armageddon in Hebrew.

17And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and there came forth a great voice out of the temple, from the throne, saying, It is done:

17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came from the throne in the temple, saying, 'It is finished!'

18and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since there were men upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty.

18Then there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a massive earthquake. There has never been an earthquake as big as this one since humans have been on the earth.

19And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

19The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and made her drink the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger.

20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

20Every island vanished, and the mountains could no longer be found.

21And great hail, every stone about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great.

21Huge hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds each, fell from the sky onto people. They cursed God because of the plague of hail, since that plague was so terrible.
