chapter 16
1
And I
heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go, and pour
out the seven vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
earth, and there fell a sore and grievous wound upon men, who had the character
of the beast; and upon them that adored the image thereof.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the
sea, and there came blood as it were of a dead man; and every living soul died
in the sea.
4 And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and
the fountains of waters; and there was made blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Thou art
just, O Lord, who art, and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast judged
these things:
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another, from the altar, saying: Yea, O
Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the
sun, and it was given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire:
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and they
blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, neither did they
penance to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the
seat of the beast; and his kingdom became dark, and they gnawed their tongues
for pain:
11 And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of
their pains and wounds, and did not penance for their works.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that
great river Euphrates; and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be
prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.
13 And I saw from the mouth of the dragon, and from the
mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean
spirits like frogs.
14 For they are the spirits of devils working signs,
and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle
against the great day of the Almighty God.
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 And he shall gather them together into a place,
which in Hebrew is called Armagedon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the
air, and there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It
is done.
18 And there were lightnings, and voices, and thunders,
and there was a great earthquake, such an one as never had been since men were
upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts; and
the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before
God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were
not found.
21 And great hail, like a talent, came down from heaven
upon men: and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail: because it was
exceeding great.
