Chapter 16 |
| 1 | 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. |
| 2 | And 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. |
| 3 | And 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. |
| 4
| And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
and fountains of waters; and they became blood. |
| 5 | And 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. |
|
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 out of the altar say, Even so, Lord
God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. |
| 8 | And the fourth
angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch
men with fire. |
|
9 | And 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. |
| 10 | And 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, |
|
11 | And blasphemed the God of
heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds. |
| 12
| And 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. |
| 13 | And 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. |
| 14 | For 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. |
|
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 gathered them together into a place called in the
Hebrew tongue Armageddon. |
|
17 | And 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. |
| 18 | And 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.
|
| 19 | And 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. |
| 20 | And every
island fled away, and the mountains were not found. |
| 21 | And 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. |
