The First Bowl

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels,^(C1) “Go and pour out the seven^(F1) bowls^(C2) of God’s wrath on the earth.” ² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores^(C1) broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

The Second Bowl

³ The second^(F1) poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died.^(C1)

The Third Bowl

⁴ The third^(F1) poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.^{(C1) 5} I heard the angel of the waters say,

⁷ I heard the altar say,

The Fourth Bowl

⁸ The fourth^(F1) 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,^(C1) who has the power^(F1) over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.^(C2)

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰ The fifth^(F1) poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,^(C1) and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.^(C2) People^(F2) gnawed their tongues because of their pain ¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven^(C1) because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

The Sixth Bowl

¹² The sixth^(F1) poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,^(C1) and its water was dried up^(C2) to prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs^(C1) coming from the dragon’s mouth,^(C2) from the beast’s mouth,^(C3) and from the mouth of the false prophet.^{(C4) 14} For they are demonic spirits performing signs,^(C1) who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them^(C2) for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty.^{(C3) 15} “Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed¹⁶ So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.^(F1)(C1)

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷ Then the seventh^(F1) poured out his bowl into the air,^(F2) and a loud voice came out of the temple^(F3)(C1) 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.^{(C1) 19} The great city^(C1) split into three parts, and the cities of the nations^(F1) fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger.^{(C2) 20} Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.^{(C1) 21} Enormous hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,^(F1) fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God^(C1) for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.^(C2)
