2So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth. A horrible, painful sore appeared on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshipped the image. | 2And 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. |
3The second angel poured his bowl into the sea. It became like the blood of a dead body, and every living thing in the sea died. | 3And 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. |
4The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. | 4And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. |
5Then I heard the angel in charge of the water say, "You are just. You are the one who is and who was, the Holy One, because you have judged these things. | 5And 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. |
6You have given them blood to drink because they spilled the blood of saints and prophets. This is what they deserve." | 6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. |
7Then I heard the altar reply, "Yes, Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and just." | 7And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. |
8The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, which then was allowed to burn people with fire, | 8And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. |
9and they were burned by the fierce heat. They cursed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues. They did not repent and give him glory. | 9And 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. |
10The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast. Its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed on their tongues in anguish | 10And 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, |
11and cursed the God of heaven because of their pain-filled sores. But they did not repent of their behavior. | 11And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds. |
12The sixth angel poured his bowl on the great Euphrates River. Its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east. | 12And 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. |
13Then I saw three disgusting spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. | 13And 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. |
14They are demonic spirits that perform signs. They go to the kings of the whole earth and gather them for the war of the great Day of God Almighty. | 14For 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"See, I am coming like a thief. How blessed is the person who remains alert and keeps his clothes on! He won't have to go naked and let others see his shame." | 15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. |

18There were flashes of lightning, noises, peals of thunder, and a powerful earthquake. There has never been such a powerful earthquake since people have been on the earth. | 18And 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. |
19The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered to give Babylon the Great the cup of wine filled with the fury of his wrath. | 19And 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. |
