Chapter 16 - (King James Version)
1 And I heard a great voice out of the
temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the
vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the
earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which
had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea;
and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died
in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers
and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art
righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou
hast judged thus.
6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,
and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord
God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun;
and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed
the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they
repented not to give him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat
of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed
their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their
pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of
the kings of the east might be prepared.
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of
the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of
the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles,
which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to
gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth,
and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in
the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the
air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from
the throne, saying, It is done.
18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings;
and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon
the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and
the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance
before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of
his wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not
found.
21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven,
every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God
because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was
exceeding great.

- Revelation Chapter
16 - (New International
Version)
1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple
saying to the seven angels, "Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's
wrath on the earth." 2The first angel went and poured out
his bowl on the land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the
people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his image.
3The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it
turned into blood like that of a dead man, and every living thing in
the sea died.
4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and
springs of water, and they became blood. 5Then I heard the
angel in charge of the waters say:
"You are just in these judgments,
you who are and who were, the Holy One,
because you have so judged;
6for they have shed the blood of your saints and
prophets,
and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve." 7And
I heard the altar respond:
"Yes, Lord God Almighty,
true and just are your judgments."
8The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the
sun was given power to scorch people with fire. 9They were
seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had
control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify
him.
10The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the
beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. Men gnawed their
tongues in agony 11and cursed the God of heaven because of
their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they
had done.
12The sixth angel 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. 13Then I saw three evil[1]
spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the
dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the
false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing
miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to
gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.
15"Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is he who stays
awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and
be shamefully exposed."
16Then they gathered the kings together to the place that
in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
17The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and
out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, "It is
done!" 18Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings,
peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has
ever occurred since man has been on earth, so tremendous was the
quake. 19The great city split into three parts, and the
cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and
gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath.
20Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found.
21From the sky huge hailstones of about a hundred pounds
each fell upon men. And they cursed God on account of the plague of
hail, because the plague was so terrible.
