16 ¶ Y oí una gran voz del templo, que decía a los siete ángeles: Id, derramad las copas de la ira de Dios sobre la tierra.

Y el primero fue, y derramó su copa en la tierra; y fue hecha una plaga mala y dañosa sobre los hombres que tenían la marca de la bestia, y sobre los que adoraban su imagen.

Y el segundo ángel derramó su copa en el mar, y fue vuelto en sangre, como de un muerto; y toda alma viviente fue muerta en el mar.

Y el tercer ángel derramó su copa en los ríos, y en las fuentes de las aguas, y fueron vueltas en sangre.

Y oí al ángel de las aguas, que decía: Señor, tú eres justo, que eres y que eras el Santo, porque has juzgado estas cosas;

porque ellos derramaron la sangre de los santos y de los profetas, tú les has dado también a beber sangre, pues lo merecen.

Y oí a otro del altar, que decía: Ciertamente, Señor Dios Todopoderoso, tus juicios son verdaderos y justos.

¶ Y el cuarto ángel derramó su copa contra el sol, y le fue dado que afligiera a los hombres con calor por fuego.

Y los hombres se inflamaron con el gran calor, y blasfemaron el nombre de Dios, que tiene potestad sobre estas plagas, y no se enmendaron para darle gloria.

10 Y el quinto ángel derramó su copa sobre el trono de la bestia; y su reino fue hecho tenebroso, y se mordían sus lenguas de dolor;

11 y blasfemaron del Dios del cielo por sus dolores, y por sus plagas, y no se enmendaron de sus obras.

12 ¶ Y el sexto ángel derramó su copa en el gran río Eufrates; y el agua de él se secó, para que fuera preparado el camino a los reyes del amanecer del sol.

13 Y vi salir de la boca del dragón, y de la boca de la bestia, y de la boca del falso profeta, tres espíritus inmundos a manera de ranas.

14 Porque son espíritus de demonios, que hacen milagros, para ir a los reyes de la tierra y de todo el mundo, para congregarlos para la batalla de aquel gran día del Dios Todopoderoso.

15 He aquí, yo vengo como ladrón: Bienaventurado el que vela, y guarda sus vestiduras, para que no ande desnudo, y vean su fealdad.

16 Y los congregó en el lugar que en hebreo se llama Armagedón.

17 ¶ Y el séptimo ángel derramó su copa por el aire; y salió una gran voz del templo del cielo desde el trono, diciendo: Hecho es.

18 Entonces fueron hechos relámpagos y voces y truenos; y hubo un gran temblor de tierra, un terremoto tan grande, cual no fue jamás desde que los hombres han estado sobre la tierra.

19 Y la gran ciudad fue partida en tres partes, y las ciudades de los gentiles se cayeron; y Babilonia la grande vino en memoria delante de Dios, para darle el cáliz del vino de la indignación de su ira.

20 Y toda isla huyó, y los montes no fueron hallados.

21 Y descendió del cielo sobre los hombres un gran granizo cada piedra como del peso de un talento; y los hombres blasfemaron de Dios por la plaga del granizo, porque su plaga fue hecha muy grande.

16 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

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 gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

The Seven Bowls of God's Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling (A)the seven angels, “Go and (B)pour out on the earth (C)the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”

So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful (D)sores came upon the people who bore (E)the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and (F)it became like the blood of a corpse, and (G)every living thing died that was in the sea.

The third angel poured out his bowl into (H)the rivers and the springs of water, and (I)they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,

(J)“Just are you, (K)O Holy One, (L)who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
For (M)they have shed the blood of (N)saints and prophets,
    and (O)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”

And I heard (P)the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    (Q)true and just are your judgments!”

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people (R)with fire. They were scorched by the fierce heat, and (S)they cursed[b] the name of God who had power over these plagues. (T)They did not repent (U)and give him glory.

10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on (V)the throne of the beast, and (W)its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11 and cursed (X)the God of heaven for their pain and (Y)sores. (Z)They did not repent of their deeds.

12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on (AA)the great river Euphrates, and (AB)its water was dried up, (AC)to prepare the way for the kings (AD)from the east. 13 And I saw, coming out of the mouth of (AE)the dragon and out of the mouth of (AF)the beast and out of the mouth of (AG)the false prophet, three (AH)unclean spirits like (AI)frogs. 14 For they are (AJ)demonic spirits, (AK)performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, (AL)to assemble them for battle on (AM)the great day of God the Almighty. 15 (“Behold, (AN)I am coming like a thief! (AO)Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, (AP)that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16 And (AQ)they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called (AR)Armageddon.

The Seventh Bowl

17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into (AS)the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, (AT)“It is done!” 18 And there were (AU)flashes of lightning, rumblings,[c] peals of thunder, and (AV)a great earthquake (AW)such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19 (AX)The great city (AY)was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God (AZ)remembered (BA)Babylon the great, (BB)to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 And (BC)every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21 And (BD)great hailstones, about one hundred pounds[d] each, fell from heaven on people; and (BE)they cursed God for (BF)the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
