1. Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”
2. The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and foul and grievous sores came on the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshipped his image.
3. The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. It became like the blood of a dead man, and every living creature in the sea died.
4. The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5. Then I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord,who is and was and who is to be,because You have judged these things.
6. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,and You have given them blood to drink. It is what they deserve!”
7. And I heard another from the altar saying: “Yes, Lord God Almighty,true and righteous are Your judgments.”
8. The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9. Men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory.
10. The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was filled with darkness. They gnawed their tongues because of the anguish,
11. and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
12. The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and its water was dried up, to prepare the way for the kings from the East.
