Revelation 16
16
The First Bowl
1Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary saying to the seven angels, # Rv 8:2,6; 15:1,6-8 “Go and pour out the seven # Other mss omit seven bowls # Rv 17:1; 21:9 of God’s wrath on the earth.” 2The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores # Lit and a severely painful sore # Ex 9:9-11; Dt 28:27,35; Jb 2:7; Is 1:6; Jr 30:12-17 broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.
The Second Bowl
3The second # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like a dead man’s, and all life # Lit and every soul of life in the sea died. # Rv 8:8-9
The Third Bowl
4The third # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. # Ex 7:17-21 5I heard the angel of the waters say:
You are righteous,
who is and who was, # Rv 11:17 the Holy One, # Is 5:19; 41:20; 45:11
for You have decided these things.
6Because they poured out
the blood of the saints and the prophets, # 2Kg 9:7; Mt 23:30; Lk 11:50; Rv 17:6; 18:24
You also gave them blood to drink;
they deserve it! # Is 49:26
7Then I heard someone from the altar say:
Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,
true and righteous are Your judgments. # Ps 19:9; Rv 19:2
The Fourth Bowl
8The fourth # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the sun. He # Or It was given the power # Or authority to burn people with fire, 9and people were burned by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God, # Lv 24:11; Is 52:5; Rm 2:24; 1Tm 6:1; Rv 13:6 who had the power # Or authority over these plagues, and they did not repent and give Him glory. # Rv 9:20-21
The Fifth Bowl
10The fifth # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, # Rv 2:13; 13:2 and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. # Ex 10:21 People # Lit They gnawed their tongues because of their pain 11and blasphemed the God of heaven # Rv 13:6 because of their pains and their sores, yet they did not repent of their actions.
The Sixth Bowl
12The sixth # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, # Gn 2:14; 15:18; Dt 11:24; 1Kg 4:21; Rv 9:14 and its water was dried up # Ex 14:21-22,29; 15:19; Jos 2:10; 4:23; 5:1; 2Kg 2:8; Neh 9:11; Is 51:10 to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs # Ex 8:2-14; Lv 11:9-12,41-47 coming from the dragon’s mouth, # Rv 12:9 from the beast’s mouth, # Rv 13:1 and from the mouth of the false prophet. # Rv 13:11-17 14For they are spirits of demons performing signs, # 2Th 2:9-10 who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them # 1Kg 22:20-23; Mt 24:24; 2Th 2:10 for the battle of the great day of God, the Almighty. # Ezk 38-39; Jl 2:11; 3:2; Zch 14:2; Rv 19:11-21
15“Look, I am coming like a thief. The one who is alert and remains clothed # Or and guards his clothes # Lk 12:35-40; 1Th 5:2,6-8 so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame # Rv 3:18 is blessed.” # Rv 1:3; 14:13; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7,14
16So they assembled them at the place called in Hebrew, Armagedon. # Other mss read Armageddon ; other mss read Harmegedon ; other mss read Mageddon ; other mss read Magedon # Traditionally the hill of Megiddo, a great city that guarded the pass between the coast and the valley of Jezreel or Esdraelon; Jdg 5:19; 2Kg 9:27 # Jdg 5:19; 2Kg 9:27; Ezk 38:8
The Seventh Bowl
17Then the seventh # Other mss add angel poured out his bowl into the air, # Or on the air and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary # Other mss add of heaven # Is 66:6 from the throne, saying, “It is done! ” 18There were flashes of lightning and rumblings of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since man has been on the earth — so great was the quake. # Ex 19:16-19; Rv 4:5; 8:5; 11:19 19The great city # Rv 18:10,16,18,19,21 split into three parts, and the cities of the nations # Or the Gentile cities fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; He gave her the cup filled with the wine of His fierce anger. # Rv 14:19; 19:15 20Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. # Lit mountains were not found # Ezk 38:20; Rv 6:14 21Enormous hailstones, each weighing about 100 pounds, # Lit about a talent ; talents varied in weight upwards from 75 pounds fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God # Rv 16:9,11 for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. # Jos 10:11; Ezk 38:22

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.
