Ḥazon (Revelation) 16
16
1And I heard a loud voice from the Dwelling Place saying to the seven messengers, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of Elohim on the earth.”
2And the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and an evil and wicked sore came upon the men, those having the mark of the beast and those worshipping his image.
3And the second messenger poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood, as of a dead one, and every living creature in the sea died.
4And the third messenger poured out his bowl on the rivers and fountains of water, and they became blood.
5And I heard the messenger of the waters saying, “You are righteous, O יהוה, the One who is and who was and who shall be, because You have judged these.
6“Because they have shed the blood of set-apart ones and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. For they deserve it.”
7And I heard another out of the slaughter-place saying, “Yes, יהוה Ěl Shaddai, true and righteous are Your judgments.”
8And the fourth messenger poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to burn men with fire.
9And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the Name of Elohim who possesses authority over these plagues. And they did not repent, to give Him esteem.
10And the fifth messenger poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his reign became darkened. And they gnawed their tongues from pain.
11And they blasphemed the Elohim of the heaven for their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their works.
12And the sixth messenger poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, in order to prepare the way of the sovereigns from the east.
13And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs,
14for they are spirits of demons, doing signs, which go out to the sovereigns of the entire world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of יהוה the Almighty.
15“See, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who is staying awake and guarding his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
16And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Har Meḡiddo.
17And the seventh messenger poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the Dwelling Place of the heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
18And there came to be noises and thunders and lightnings. And there came to be a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as had not came to be since men were on the earth.
19And the great city became divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And great Baḇel was remembered before Elohim, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
20And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21And great hail from the heaven fell upon men, every hailstone about the weight of a talent. And men blasphemed Elohim for the plague of the hail, because that plague was exceedingly great.

Revelation 16

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling #See ch. 15:1 the seven angels, “Go and #Ps. 79:6; Jer. 10:25; Zeph. 3:8 pour out on the earth #ch. 15:7the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
2So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and harmful and painful #ver. 11; Ex. 9:9-11 sores came upon the people who bore #ch. 13:16the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.
3The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and #ch. 8:8 it became like the blood of a corpse, and #ch. 8:9every living thing died that was in the sea.
4The third angel poured out his bowl into #ch. 8:10 the rivers and the springs of water, and #Ex. 7:17-20they became blood. 5And I heard the angel in charge of the waters#16:5 Greek angel of the waters say,
#
Jer. 12:1; John 17:25 “Just are you, #ch. 15:4 O Holy One, #ch. 11:17; [ch. 1:4, 8; 4:8]who is and who was,
for you brought these judgments.
6For #ch. 18:24; [ch. 13:15] they have shed the blood of #ch. 11:18 saints and prophets,
and #[Isa. 49:26; Luke 11:49, 50]you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7And I heard #ch. 6:9 the altar saying,
“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
# ch. 15:3; 19:2; [Ps. 119:137] true and just are your judgments!”
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people #ch. 9:17; [ch. 14:18]with fire. 9They were scorched by the fierce heat, and #ver. 11, 21 they cursed#16:9 Greek blasphemed; also verses 11, 21 the name of God who had power over these plagues. #[Dan. 5:22]; See ch. 2:21 They did not repent #[Dan. 5:23]; See ch. 11:13and give him glory.
10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on #ch. 13:2 the throne of the beast, and #ch. 9:2; Ex. 10:21its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in anguish 11and cursed #ch. 11:13 the God of heaven for their pain and #ver. 2 sores. #See ch. 2:21They did not repent of their deeds.
12The sixth angel poured out his bowl on #ch. 9:14 the great river Euphrates, and #Isa. 11:15; 44:27; Jer. 50:38; 51:32, 36 its water was dried up, #[Isa. 41:2, 25; 46:11] to prepare the way for the kings #ch. 7:2from the east. 13And I saw, coming out of the mouth of #ch. 12:3, 9 the dragon and out of the mouth of #ch. 13:1 the beast and out of the mouth of #ch. 19:20; 20:10; [ch. 13:11, 14] the false prophet, three #ch. 18:2 unclean spirits like #[Ex. 8:6]frogs. 14For they are #[1 Tim. 4:1] demonic spirits, #See ch. 13:13 performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, #ch. 20:8; [ch. 17:14; 19:19; 1 Kgs. 22:20] to assemble them for battle on #See ch. 6:17the great day of God the Almighty. 15(“Behold, #See ch. 3:3 I am coming like a thief! #ch. 3:2, 3; See Matt. 24:42 Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, #ch. 3:18that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”) 16And #ch. 19:19 they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called #Zech. 12:11; See Judg. 5:19Armageddon.
The Seventh Bowl
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into #[Eph. 2:2] the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple, from the throne, saying, #See ch. 10:6“It is done!” 18And there were #ch. 4:5; 8:5; 11:19 flashes of lightning, rumblings,#16:18 Or voices, or sounds peals of thunder, and #ch. 6:12; 11:13 a great earthquake #Dan. 12:1; Joel 2:2; Matt. 24:21such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. 19#ch. 11:8 The great city #[ch. 11:13] was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God #ch. 18:5; [Ps. 74:18] remembered #See ch. 14:8 Babylon the great, #See ch. 14:10to make her drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20And #See ch. 6:14every island fled away, and no mountains were to be found. 21And #ch. 11:19 great hailstones, about one hundred pounds#16:21 Greek a talent in weight each, fell from heaven on people; and #ver. 9, 11 they cursed God for #Ex. 9:23-25the plague of the hail, because the plague was so severe.
