One of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven gold bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.

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

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the judgment of the notorious prostitute who sits on many waters.

Then one of the seven angels, who had held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me: “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

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 his image.

The second poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like a dead man’s, and all life in the sea died.

The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.

The fourth poured out his bowl on the sun. He was given the power to burn people with fire,

The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues because of their pain

The sixth 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.

Then the seventh poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the sanctuary from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
