Chapter 16
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven
angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the
earth.
2And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and
there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the
beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3And 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.
4And the third angel
poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became
blood.
5And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O
Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given
them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7And I heard another out of the
altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy
judgments.
8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and
power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9And men were scorched
with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these
plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10And 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,
11And blasphemed the
God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of
their deeds.
12And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the
kings of the east might be prepared.
13And 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.
14For they are
the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of
that great day of God Almighty.
15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed
is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked,
and they see his shame.
16And he gathered them together into a place
called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17And 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.
18And there were voices, and
thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not
since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19And 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 unto
her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20And every
island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21And 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 thereof was exceeding great.
