Revelation 16

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Pour the seven bowls of God's anger over the earth."

2 The first angel poured his bowl over the earth. Horrible, painful sores appeared on the people who had the brand of the beast and worshiped its statue.

3 The second angel poured his bowl over the sea. The sea turned into blood like the blood of a dead man, and every living thing in the sea died.

4 The third angel poured his bowl over the rivers and the springs. They turned into blood.

5 Then I heard the angel of the water say, "You are fair. You are the one who is and the one who was, the holy one, because you have judged these things.

6 You have given them blood to drink because they have poured out the blood of God's people and prophets. This is what they deserve."

7 Then I heard the altar answer, "Yes, Lord God Almighty, your judgments are true and fair."

8 The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.

14 They are spirits of demons that do miracles. These spirits go to the kings of the whole world and gather them for the war on the frightening day of God Almighty.

15 "See, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains alert and doesn't lose his clothes. He will not have to go naked and let others see his shame."

16 The spirits gathered the kings at the place which is called Armageddon in Hebrew.

17 The seventh angel poured his bowl into the air. A loud voice came from the throne in the temple, and said, "It has happened!"
