1And I heard a great voice from out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the passion (heated outburst) of God unto the earth. 2And the first departed and poured out his bowl unto the earth; and bad (foul, rotten) and evil (pain-ridden) festering sore came upon the men having the mark of the beast and those worshipping its image. 3And the second poured out his bowl into the sea; and it became blood like as of [one] dead; and every living soul died that was in the sea. 4And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of the waters; and they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous (Just) are You, the One being and having been, O Holy One, because these things you have judged. 6Because they have poured out the blood of saints and of prophets and You have given them blood to drink; they are worthy. 7And I heard the altar saying, Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous (just) are Your judgments. 8And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. 9And the men were scorched with great heat and they blasphemed the name of God, the One having the authority over (upon) these plagues and they did not repent to give Him glory. 10And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they were gnawing their tongues from out of distress (anguish, pain); 11And they blasphemed the God of heaven from out of their distresses and from out of their sores; and they did not repent from out of their works. 12And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from (away from) the rising of the sun might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean spirits like as frogs [coming] from out of the mouth of the dragon and from out of the mouth of the beast and from out of the mouth of the false prophet; 14For they are spirits of demons making (doing) signs, which go out upon the kings of the whole inhabited world to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God Almighty. 15Behold, I am coming like as a thief. Blessed is he who is watching and keeping his garments so that he might not walk naked and they might see his shame. 16And He gathered them together unto the place called in Hebrew Armageddon (Harmagedon). 17And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and a great voice came out from out of the temple away from the throne saying, It is done! 18And there were flashes of lightning and voices (sounds) and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as there has not been since men were upon the earth, so large (great, mighty) was the earthquake and so great. 19And the great city became into three parts; and the cities of the ethnicities fell; and the great Babylon was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the passion of His wrath. 20And every island fled; and mountains were not to be found; 21And great hail about the talent weight (weight or worth of a talent, NASB- 100lbs.) comes down from out of heaven upon the men; and the men blasphemed God from out of the plague of the hail because the plague of it is exceedingly great. |
