XV. And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels having seven plagues; which are the last, because in them is completed the wrath of God.
2And I saw as it were a sea of glass, mingled with fire; and those who had gained the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God the Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of the nations. 4Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? Because thou alone art holy; because all the nations shall come and worship before thee; because thy judgments are made manifest.
5And after these things I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened; 6and there came forth the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure, shining linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles. 7And one of the four animals gave to the seven angels seven golden cups, full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. 8And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no one was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels should be completed.
XVI. And I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels: Go, and pour out the seven cups of the wrath of God into the earth.
2And the first departed, and poured out his cup into the earth[2]; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men who have the mark of the beast, and who worship his image.
3And the second poured out his cup into the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living thing died that was in the sea.
4And the third poured out his cup into the rivers, and the fountains of water; and they became blood. 5And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Righteous art thou, who art and who wast holy, because thou didst thus judge; 6because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. They are worthy. 7And I heard, out of the altar, one saying[7]: Even so, Lord God the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8And the fourth poured out his cup upon the sun; and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. 9And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has the power over these plagues, and repented not, to give him glory.
10And the fifth poured out his cup upon the throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11and blasphemed the God of heaven, because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their works.
12And the sixth poured out his cup upon the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, that the way of the kings, who are from the rising of the sun, might be prepared. 13And 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 as frogs; 14for they are spirits of demons, working signs, which go forth over the kings of the whole habitable world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God the Almighty.
