The seven vials are poured out. The plagues that ensue.
16:1. 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.
16:2. 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.
16:3. 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.
16:4. And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and the
fountains of waters. And there was made blood.
16:5. 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.
16:6. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: and thou hast
given them blood to drink. For they are worthy.
16:7. And I heard another, from the altar, saying: Yea, O Lord God
Almighty, true and just are thy judgments.
16:8. And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun. And it was
given unto him to afflict men with heat and fire.
16:9. 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.
16:10. 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.
16:11. And they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and
wounds: and did not penance for their works.
16:12. 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.
16:13. 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.
16:14. 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.
16:15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth and
keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16:16. And he shall gather them together into a place which in Hebrew is
called Armagedon.
Armagedon... That is, the hill of robbers.
16:17. 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.
16:18. 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.
16:19. 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.
16:20. And every island fled away: and the mountains were not found.
16:21. 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.
