Revelation 16:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 [a]And the seventh Angel poured out his vial into the [b]air: and there came a loud voice out of the Temple of heaven from [c]the throne, saying, [d]It is done.
18 [e]And there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, even so mighty an earthquake.
19 [f]And the great city was divided into three parts: and the cities of the nations [g]fell: and that great [h]Babylon came in remembrance before God, (A)to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
