Revelation 16 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The First Bowl

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels,  ‘Go and pour out the seven  bowls  of God’s wrath on the earth.’

² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores  broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped its image.

The Second Bowl

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

The Third Bowl

⁴ The third  poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

⁵ I heard the angel of the waters say, You are just, the Holy One,  who is and who was, because you have passed judgement on these things.

⁶ Because they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, you have given them blood to drink; they deserve it!

⁷ I heard the altar say, Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and just are your judgements.

The Fourth Bowl

⁸ The fourth  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,  who has the power  over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.

The Fifth Bowl

¹⁰ The fifth  poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast,  and its kingdom was plunged into darkness.  People  gnawed their tongues because of their pain

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven  because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

The Sixth Bowl

¹² The sixth  poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates,  and its water was dried up  to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs  coming from the dragon’s mouth,  from the beast’s mouth,  and from the mouth of the false prophet.

¹⁴ For they are demonic spirits performing signs,  who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them  for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty.

¹⁵ ‘Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed   is the one who is alert and remains clothed   , so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.’

¹⁶ So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.  ,

The Seventh Bowl

¹⁷ Then the seventh  poured out his bowl into the air,  and a loud voice came out of the temple  , 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.

¹⁹ The great city  split into three parts, and the cities of the nations  fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger.

²⁰ Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared.

²¹ Enormous hailstones, each weighing about fifty kilograms,  fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God  for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe.
