The First Bowl
1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, w “Go and pour out the seven X bowls x of God’s wrath on the earth.” 2 The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful sores y broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.
The Second Bowl

The Third Bowl
4 The third Z poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. a 5 I heard the angel of the waters say,
You are just,
the Holy One, b who is and who was, c
because you have passed judgment on these things.
the blood of the saints and the prophets, d
you have given them blood to drink;
they deserve it! e
Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,
true and just are your judgments. f
The Fourth Bowl

The Sixth Bowl
12 The sixth E poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, l and its water was dried up m to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 Then I saw three unclean spirits like frogs n coming from the dragon’s mouth, o from the beast’s mouth, p and from the mouth of the false prophet. q 14 For they are demonic spirits performing signs, r who travel to the kings of the whole world to assemble them s for the battle on the great day of God, the Almighty. t 15 “Look, I am coming like a thief. Blessed u is the one who is alert and remains clothed F,v so that he may not go around naked and people see his shame.” w 16 So they assembled the kings at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. G,x
The Seventh Bowl
17 Then the seventh H poured out his bowl into the air, I and a loud voice came out of the temple J,y 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. z 19 The great city a split into three parts, and the cities of the nations K fell. Babylon the Great was remembered in God’s presence; he gave her the cup filled with the wine of his fierce anger. b 20 Every island fled, and the mountains disappeared. c 21 Enormous hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, L fell from the sky on people, and they blasphemed God d for the plague of hail because that plague was extremely severe. e
