Apocalypse, 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. •

[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 ¹. •

[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. •
