And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the seven 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 sore and grievous wound upon men who had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image thereof.
|
3
|
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea. And there came blood as it were of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
|
4
|
And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and the fountains of waters. And there was made blood.
|
5
|
And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Thou art just, O Lord, who art and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast judged these things.
|
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, from the altar, saying: Yea, O Lord God Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.
|
8
|
And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun. And it was given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire.
|
9
|
And men were scorched with great heat: and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues. Neither did they penance to give him glory.
|
10
|
And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast. And his kingdom became dark: and they gnawed their tongues for pain.
|
11
|
And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and wounds: and did not penance for their works.
|
12
|
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon that great river Euphrates and dried up the water thereof, that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.
|
13
|
And I saw from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs.
|
14
|
For they are the spirits of devils, working signs: and they go forth unto the kings of the whole earth, to gather them to battle against the great day of the Almighty God.
|
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 shall gather them together into a place which in Hebrew is called Armagedon.
|
17
|
And the seventh angel poured out his vial upon the air. And there came a great voice out of the temple from the throne, saying: It is done.
|
18
|
And there were lightnings and voices and thunders: and there was a great earthquake, such an one as never had been since men were upon the earth, such an earthquake, so great.
|
19
|
And the great city was divided into three parts: and the cities of the Gentiles fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the indignation of his wrath.
|
20
|
And every island fled away: and the mountains were not found.
|
21
|
And great hail, like a talent, came down from heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God, for the plague of the hail: because it was exceeding great.
