Revelation 16 (WEBP)
[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 earth!”
[2] The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his 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.
[4] The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
[5] I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things.
[6] For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this.”
[7] I heard the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.”
[8] The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire.
[9] People were scorched with great heat, and people 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,
[11] and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still didn’t repent of their works.
[12] The sixth poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates. Its water was dried up, that the way might be prepared for the kings that come from the sunrise.§
[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;
[14] for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to gather them together for the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
[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.”
[16] He gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew, “Harmagedon”.
[17] The seventh poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
[18] There were lightnings, sounds, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake such as has not happened since there were men on the earth—so great an earthquake and so mighty.
[19] The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
[20] Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
[21] Great hailstones, about the weight of a talent,° came down out of the sky on people. People blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for this plague was exceedingly severe.
Revelation 16:12 or, east
Revelation 16:21 A talent is about 30 kilograms or 66 pounds.

Revelation 16 (KJVS)
[1] And G2532 I heard G191 (AorActInd) a great G3173 voice G5456 out of G1537 the temple G3485 saying G3004 (PresActPtc) to the seven G2033 angels G32, Go your ways G5217 (PresActImpr), and G2532 pour out G1632 (AorActImpr) the vials G5357 of the wrath G2372 of God G2316 upon G1519 the earth G1093.
[2] And G2532 the first G4413 went G565 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1909 the earth G1093; and G2532 there fell G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) a noisome G2556 and G2532 grievous G4190 sore G1668 upon G1519 the men G444 which G3588 had G2192 (PresActPtc) the mark G5480 of the beast G2342, and G2532 [upon] them which worshipped G4352 (PresActPtc) his G846 image G1504.
[3] And G2532 the second G1208 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1519 the sea G2281; and G2532 it became G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) as G5613 the blood G129 of a dead G3498 [man]: and G2532 every G3956 living G2198 (PresActPtc) soul G5590 died G599 (Aor2ActInd) in G1722 the sea G2281.
[4] And G2532 the third G5154 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1519 the rivers G4215 and G2532 G1519 fountains G4077 of waters G5204; and G2532 they became G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) blood G129.
[5] And G2532 I heard G191 (AorActInd) the angel G32 of the waters G5204 say G3004 (PresActPtc), Thou art G1488 (PresInd) righteous G1342, O Lord G2962, which G3588 art G5607 (PresPtc) G3801, and G2532 wast G2258 (ImpfInd) G3801, and G2532 shalt be G3741 (FutPtc) G3801, because G3754 thou hast judged G2919 (AorActInd) thus G5023.
[6] For G3754 they have shed G1632 (AorActInd) the blood G129 of saints G40 and G2532 prophets G4396, and G2532 thou hast given G1325 (AorActInd) them G846 blood G129 to drink G4095 (Aor2ActInf); for G1063 they are G1526 (PresInd) worthy G514.
[7] And G2532 I heard G191 (AorActInd) another G243 out of G1537 the altar G2379 say G3004 (PresActPtc), Even so G3483, Lord G2962 God G2316 Almighty G3841, true G228 and G2532 righteous G1342 [are] thy G4675 judgments G2920.
[8] And G2532 the fourth G5067 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1909 the sun G2246; and G2532 power was given G1325 (AorPasInd) unto him G846 to scorch G2739 (AorActInf) men G444 with G1722 fire G4442.
[9] And G2532 men G444 were scorched G2739 (AorPasInd) with great G3173 heat G2738, and G2532 blasphemed G987 (AorActInd) the name G3686 of God G2316, which G3588 hath G2192 (PresActPtc) power G1849 over G1909 these G5025 plagues G4127: and G2532 they repented G3340 (AorActInd) not G3756 to give G1325 (Aor2ActInf) him G846 glory G1391.
[10] And G2532 the fifth G3991 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1909 the seat G2362 of the beast G2342; and G2532 his G846 kingdom G932 was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) full of darkness G4656 (PerfPasPtc); and G2532 they gnawed G3145 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) their G846 tongues G1100 for G1537 pain G4192,
[11] And G2532 blasphemed G987 (AorActInd) the God G2316 of heaven G3772 because of G1537 their G846 pains G4192 and G2532 G1537 their G846 sores G1668, and G2532 repented G3340 (AorActInd) not G3756 of G1537 their G846 deeds G2041.
[12] And G2532 the sixth G1623 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 upon G1909 the great G3173 river G4215 Euphrates G2166; and G2532 the water G5204 thereof G846 was dried up G3583 (AorPasInd), that G2443 the way G3598 of the kings G935 of G575 the east G395 G2246 might be prepared G2090 (AorPasSubj).
[13] And G2532 I saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) three G5140 unclean G169 spirits G4151 like G3664 frogs G944 [come] out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the dragon G1404, and G2532 out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the beast G2342, and G2532 out of G1537 the mouth G4750 of the false prophet G5578.
[14] For G1063 they are G1526 (PresInd) the spirits G4151 of devils G1142, working G4160 (PresActPtc) miracles G4592, [which] go forth G1607 (PresMidPasDepInf) G3739 G1607 (PresMidPasDepInd) unto G1909 the kings G935 of the earth G1093 and G2532 of the whole G3650 world G3625, to gather G4863 (Aor2ActInf) them G846 to G1519 the battle G4171 of that G1565 great G3173 day G2250 of God G2316 Almighty G3841.
[15] Behold G2400 (Aor2ActImpr), I come G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) as G5613 a thief G2812. Blessed G3107 [is] he that watcheth G1127 (PresActPtc), and G2532 keepeth G5083 (PresActPtc) his G846 garments G2440, lest G3363 he walk G4043 (PresActSubj) naked G1131, and G2532 they see G991 (PresActSubj) his G846 shame G808.
[16] And G2532 he gathered G4863 them G846 together G4863 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 a place G5117 called G2564 (PresPasPtc) in the Hebrew tongue G1447 Armageddon G717.
[17] And G2532 the seventh G1442 angel G32 poured out G1632 (AorActInd) his G846 vial G5357 into G1519 the air G109; and G2532 there came G1831 (Aor2ActInd) a great G3173 voice G5456 out of G575 the temple G3485 of heaven G3772, from G575 the throne G2362, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), It is done G1096 (Perf2ActInd).
[18] And G2532 there were G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) voices G5456, and G2532 thunders G1027, and G2532 lightnings G796; and G2532 there was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) a great G3173 earthquake G4578, such as G3634 was G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) not G3756 since G3739 G575 men G444 were G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) upon G1909 the earth G1093, so mighty G5082 an earthquake G4578, [and] so G3779 great G3173.
[19] And G2532 the great G3173 city G4172 was divided G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) into G1519 three G5140 parts G3313, and G2532 the cities G4172 of the nations G1484 fell G4098 (Aor2ActInd): and G2532 great G3173 Babylon G897 came in remembrance G3415 (AorPasInd) before G1799 God G2316, to give G1325 (Aor2ActInf) unto her G846 the cup G4221 of the wine G3631 of the fierceness G2372 of his G846 wrath G3709.
[20] And G2532 every G3956 island G3520 fled away G5343 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 the mountains G3735 were G2147 not G3756 found G2147 (AorPasInd).
[21] And G2532 there fell G2597 (PresActInd) upon G1909 men G444 a great G3173 hail G5464 out of G1537 heaven G3772, [every stone] about G5613 the weight of a talent G5006: and G2532 men G444 blasphemed G987 (AorActInd) God G2316 because of G1537 the plague G4127 of the hail G5464; for G3754 the plague G4127 thereof G846 was G2076 (PresInd) exceeding G4970 great G3173.
Young’s Literal Translation
Revelation 16 (YLT)
[1] And I heard a great voice out of the sanctuary saying to the seven messengers, ‘Go away, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God to the earth;’
[2] and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon the land, and there came a sore-bad and grievous-to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his image.
[3] And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea, and there came blood as of one dead, and every living soul died in the sea.
[4] And the third messenger did pour out his vial to the rivers, and to the fountains of the waters, and there came blood,
[5] and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying, ‘righteous, O Lord, art Thou, who art, and who wast, and who shalt be, because these things Thou didst judge,
[6] because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;’
[7] and I heard another out of the altar, saying, ‘Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Thy judgments.’
[8] And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire,
[9] and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues, and they did not reform-to give to Him glory.
[10] And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the pain,
[11] and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from their works.
[12] And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be made ready;
[13] and I saw 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, three unclean spirits like frogs-
[14] for they are spirits of demons, doing signs-which go forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty;-
[15] ‘lo, I do come as a thief; happy is he who is watching, and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they may see his unseemliness?’-
[16] and they did bring them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon.
[17] And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of the heaven, from the throne, saying, ‘It hath come!’
[18] and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake-so great!
[19] And it came-the great city-into three parts, and the cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of His anger,
[20] and every island did flee away, and mountains were not found,
[21] and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great.
