[1] And I heard a voice, which said to the seven angels: Go forth, and pour those seven cups of the wrath of God upon the earth.
[2] And the first went, and poured his cup upon the earth; and there was a malignant and painful ulcer upon those men who had the mark of the beast of prey, and who worshipped its image.
[3] And the second angel poured his cup upon the sea; and it became blood, like that of a dead person; and every living soul of things in the sea, died.
[4] And the third angel poured his cup upon the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.
[5] And I heard the angel of the waters say: Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, and art holy; because thou hast done this judgment.
[6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets; and thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it.
[7] And I heard [one from] the altar say: Yes, Lord God Almighty: true and righteous is thy judgment.
[8] And the fourth poured his cup upon the sun: and it was permitted him, to scorch men with fire.
[9] And men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of God, who hath authority over these plagues; and they repented not, to give glory to him.
[10] And the fifth poured his cup on the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness; and they gnawed their tongues, from pain;
[11] and they blasphemed the God of heaven, on account of their pains and their ulcers, and did not repent of their deeds.
[12] And the sixth poured his cup upon the great river Euphrates; and its waters dried up, so that a way might be prepared for the kings from the rising of the sun.
[13] And I saw [issuing] from the mouth of the dragon, and from the mouth of the beast of prey, and from the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs:
[14] (for they are the spirits of demons, who work prodigies;) and they go forth to all the kings of all the habitable world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty.
[15] (And lo, 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 they collected them together in a place called, in Hebrew, Armageddon.
[17] And the seventh poured his cup on the air; and there issued a loud voice from the temple, from the throne, which said: It is done!
[18] And there were lightnings, and thunders, and voices; and there was a great earthquake, the like of which there was never, since men were on the earth, such an earthquake, and so great.
[19] And the great city became three parts. And the city of the nations fell; and Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the heat of his wrath.
[20] And every island fled away; and the mountains were not found.
[21] And a great hail, as it were of a talent weight, fell from heaven upon men: and the men blasphemed God, on account of the plague of hail; for the plague of it was very great.
