Revelation Chapter 16 (CSB)

Compare with Version:

¹ Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, ⓚ “Go and pour out the seven [1] bowls ⓛ of God’s wrath on the earth.”

² The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores ⓜ broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

³ The second [2] poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died. ⓝ

⁴ The third [3] poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. ⓐ

⁵ I heard the angel of the waters say, You are just, the Holy One, ⓑ who is and who was, ⓒ because you have passed judgment on these things.

⁶ Because they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, ⓓ you have given them blood to drink; they deserve it! ⓔ

⁷ I heard the altar say, Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and just are your judgments. ⓕ

⁸ The fourth [4] poured out his bowl on the sun. It was allowed to scorch people with fire,

⁹ and people were scorched by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God, ⓖ who has the power [5] over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory. ⓗ

¹⁰ The fifth [6] poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, ⓘ and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. ⓙ People [7] gnawed their tongues because of their pain

¹¹ and blasphemed the God of heaven ⓚ because of their pains and their sores, but they did not repent of their works.

¹² The sixth [8] poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, ⓛ and its water was dried up ⓜ to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

¹³ Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs ⓝ coming from the dragon’s mouth, ⓐ from the beast’s mouth, ⓑ and from the mouth of the false prophet. ⓒ

¹⁴ For they are demonic spirits performing signs, ⓓ who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them ⓔ for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty. ⓕ

¹⁵ “Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed ⓖis the one who is alert and remains clothed [9] ⓗso that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.” ⓘ

¹⁶ So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. [10] ⓙ

¹⁷ Then the seventh [11] poured out his bowl into the air, [12] and a loud voice came out of the temple [13] ⓚ from the throne, saying, “It is done!”

¹⁸ There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. And a severe earthquake occurred like no other since people have been on the earth, so great was the quake. ⓛ

¹⁹ The great city ⓜ split into three parts, and the cities of the nations [14] fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger. ⓝ

²⁰ Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. ⓐ

²¹ Enormous hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, [15] fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God ⓑ for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. ⓒ
