"Righteous art thou, thou who art and wast, The Holy One, Because thou didst inflict this judgment. For men poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, And thou hast given them blood to drink. And this they deserved." And I heard the altar saying, "Yea, O Lord, the Almighty, True and righteous are thy judgments."

And men were scorched with the terrible heat; and they blasphemed the name of the God who had the power over these plagues; yet they repented not, to give him glory. And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened, and men gnawed their tongues for pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores; yet of their deeds they did not repent.

For these are the spirits of demons performing miracles, who go forth to the kings of the habitable earth, to gather them together for the battle of the great Day of God, the Almighty. Lo, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the who is on the watch and guarding his clothing, so that he may not walk naked, and they gaze on his shame. And the spirits gathered the kings together at the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is finished!" And lightnings and voices and thunders and a great earthquake such as had not happened since man began to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake, so mighty; and the great city was shattered into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and great Babylon came to mind before the face of God, to give her the cup of the wine of the passion of his anger. And every island fled away, and the mountains sank from sight. 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 of it is very great.
