Revelation 16  Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The First Bowl

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels,^(A) ‘Go and pour out the seven^[a] bowls^(B) of God’s wrath on the earth.’ ² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores^(C) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped its image.

The Second Bowl

³ The second^[b] poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died.^(D)

The Third Bowl

⁴ The third^[c] poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.^{(E) 5} I heard the angel of the waters say,

⁷ I heard the altar say,

The Fourth Bowl

⁸ The fourth^[d] poured out his bowl on the sun. It was allowed to scorch people with fire, ⁹ and people were scorched by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God,^(K) who has the power^[e] over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.^(L)

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰ The fifth^[f] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,^(M) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.^(N) People^[g] gnawed their tongues because of their pain ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven^(O) because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

The Sixth Bowl

¹² The sixth^[h] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,^(P) and its water was dried up^(Q) to prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs^(R) coming from the dragon’s mouth,^(S) from the beast’s mouth,^(T) and from the mouth of the false prophet.^{(U) 14} For they are demonic spirits performing signs,^(V) who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them^(W) for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty.^{(X) 15} ‘Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed^(Y) is the one who is alert and remains clothed^[i](Z) so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.’^{(AA) 16} So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.^[j](AB)

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷ Then the seventh^[k] poured out his bowl into the air,^[l] and a loud voice came out of the temple^[m](AC) from the throne, saying, ‘It is done! ’ ¹⁸ There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since people have been on the earth, so great was the quake.^{(AD) 19} The great city^(AE) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations^[n] fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger.^{(AF) 20} Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.^{(AG) 21} Enormous hailstones, each weighing about fifty kilograms,^[o] fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God^(AH) for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.^(AI)
