Revelation 16

HNV

MSG

1 I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the eretz!"
1 I heard a shout of command from the Temple to the Seven Angels: "Begin! Pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on earth!"
2 The first went, and poured out his bowl into the eretz, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.
2 The first Angel stepped up and poured his bowl out on earth: Loathsome, stinking sores erupted on all who had taken the mark of the Beast and worshiped its image.
3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.
3 The second Angel poured his bowl on the sea: The sea coagulated into blood, and everything in it died.

5 I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, you Holy One, because you judged this way.
5 I heard the Angel of Waters say, Righteous you are, and your judgments are righteous, The Is, The Was, The Holy.
6 For they poured out the blood of the holy ones and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this."
6 They poured out the blood of saints and prophets so you've given them blood to drink - they've gotten what they deserve!

8 The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
8 The fourth Angel poured his bowl on the sun: Fire blazed from the sun and scorched men and women.
9 Men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn't repent and give him glory.

10 The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain,
10 The fifth Angel poured his bowl on the throne of the Beast: Its kingdom fell into sudden eclipse. Mad with pain, men and women bit and chewed their tongues,

11 cursed the God of Heaven for their torment and sores, and refused to repent and change their ways.

13 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, something like frogs;
13 From the mouths of the Dragon, the Beast, and the False Prophet I saw three foul demons crawl out - they looked like frogs.
14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs; which go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, Shaddai.
14 These are demon spirits performing signs. They're after the kings of the whole world to get them gathered for battle on the Great Day of God, the Sovereign-Strong.
15 "Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn't walk naked, and they see his shame."
15 "Keep watch! I come unannounced, like a thief. You're blessed if, awake and dressed, you're ready for me. Too bad if you're found running through the streets, naked and ashamed."
