¹ And I looked, and lo, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with it a number, a hundred and forty-four thousand, having its name and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. ² And I heard a sound from heaven as a sound of many waters, and as a sound of great thunder. And the voice that I heard was as of harpers harping with their harps. ³ And they sing a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And none could learn the song except the hundred and forty-four thousand, those who have been redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These are men who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.

And he will be tormented with fire and brimstone before the holy agents and before the Lamb. ¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages. And they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and its image, and if any man receives the mark of its name. ¹² Here is the perseverance of the sanctified. Here are those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. ¹³ And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, says the Spirit, so that they may rest from their toils, and their works follow with them. ¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sits on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another agent came out from the temple in heaven, also himself having a sharp sickle. ¹⁸ And another agent came out from the altar having power over the fire. And he cried out in a great shout to him who has the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes are fully ripe. ¹⁹ And the agent sent his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰ And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out from the winepress, up to the bridles of the horses, as far as a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

⁷ And the first sounded, and there occurred hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

³ And he cried out in a great voice as a lion roars. And when he cried out, the seven thunders uttered their voices. ⁴ And when the seven thunders uttered, I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.

¹ And after these things I heard as a great sound of a large multitude in heaven, saying, Praise the Lord, the salvation, and the power, and the glory of our God! ² Because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand. ³ And a second time they said, Praise the Lord!

² And straightaway I became in spirit. And behold, a throne was set in heaven, and him sitting upon the throne ³ similar in appearance to a jasper and a sardius stone. And a rainbow was around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. ⁴ And around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and upon the thrones were sitting twenty-four elders clothed in white garments, and golden crowns upon their heads. ⁵ And out of the throne proceeds lightnings and voices and thunders. And seven lamps of fire burned before his throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. ⁶ And before the throne was like a glassy sea similar to crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and all around the throne, were four living creatures containing eyes in front and back. ⁷ And the first living creature was similar to a lion, and the second living creature was similar to a young bull, and the third living creature having a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was similar to a flying eagle. ⁸ And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming. ⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders would fall down before him who sits on the throne, and would worship him who lives into the ages of the ages, and would cast their crowns before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Thou are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy, to take the glory and the honor and the power, because thou created all things, and because by thy will they are, and were created.

⁹ And they sing a new song, saying, Thou are worthy to take the book and to open the seals of it, because thou were killed and purchased us from God by thy blood, out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation.

² Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.

³ Thine oils have a good fragrance. Thy name is oil poured forth. Therefore the virgins love thee.

⁸ There are sixty queens, and eighty concubines, and virgins without number.

³ Israel was holiness to LORD, the first-fruits of his increase. All who devour him shall be held guilty. Evil shall come upon them, says LORD.

¹ Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!

¹⁹ And a certain scholar having come, he said to him, Teacher, I will follow thee wherever thou may go.

¹ Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to the bridegroom's gathering.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass while they went on the way, a certain man said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou may go, Lord. ⁵⁸ And Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky, nests, but the Son of man has not where he might lay his head. ⁵⁹ And he said to another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first, after departing, to bury my father. ⁶⁰ But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God. ⁶¹ And also another said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those in my house. ⁶² But Jesus said to him, No man, having put his hand to a plow, and looking to things behind, is fit for the kingdom of God.

¹² Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

²⁶ If any man serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my helper will also be. And if any man serves me, the Father will honor him.

³⁷ Peter said to him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee.

²⁸ Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit placed you guardians, to tend the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased by his own blood.

²⁰ for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

²⁵ Now concerning the virgins I have no commandment of the Lord, but I give an opinion, as having obtained mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy. ²⁶ I suppose therefore this to be good because of the present distress, that it is good for a man to be this way:

²⁸ But also if thou did marry thou have not sinned, and if the virgin married she has not sinned. Yet such kind will have stress in the flesh, but I spare you.

¹⁵ Now I beseech you, brothers (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the first fruit of Achaia, and that they committed themselves to service for the sanctified),

² For I am jealous for you with a jealousy of God. For I betrothed you to one husband, a pure virgin to present to the Christ.

¹⁴ which is a pledge of our inheritance, for the redemption of the acquired possession, for appreciation of his glory.

³ forbidding to marry, to abstain from foods, which God created for partaking with thankfulness by those who believe and know the truth.

¹⁸ Having deliberated, he begot us by the word of truth for us to be a certain first fruit of his creatures.

⁹ But ye are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for an acquired possession, so that ye might broadly proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

⁴ But thou have a few names in Sardis who did not defile their garments. And they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy.

¹⁴ These will war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, because he is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those with him are the called and chosen and faithful.

² Blessed is the man to whom LORD does not impute sin, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

¹³ Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.

¹¹ Wickedness is in the midst of it. Oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

⁸ All the words of my mouth are in righteousness. There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

⁷ Thou are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in thee.

⁹ And they made his grave with the wicked, and with a rich man in his death. Although he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth.

⁴ Then the presidents and the satraps sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find no occasion nor fault, inasmuch as he was faithful, nor was there any error or fault found in him.

² Their heart is divided. Now they shall be found guilty. He will smite their altars. He will destroy their pillars.

¹³ The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies, nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth. For they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

³⁴ Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

⁴ And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, I find nothing guilty in this man.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and says about him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.

²⁷ so that he might present it to himself, the glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that it should be holy and unblemished.

²² in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblemished and unblameable before him.

¹⁰ For he who wants to love life, and see good days, let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips not to speak deceit.

²⁴ Now to him who is able to keep them non-stumbling, and to present before his glory, unblemished in gladness,

⁶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

⁵ Truly my house is not so with God. Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure. For it is all my salvation, and all my desire, though he does not make it to grow.

¹⁴² Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is truth.

²⁴ and see if there is any wicked way in me. And lead me in the way everlasting.

¹³ Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

² Above him stood the seraphim. Each one had six wings, with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar. ⁷ And he touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips, and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin forgiven.

⁸ The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever.

¹⁷ But Israel shall be saved by LORD with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be put to shame nor confounded world without end.

⁶ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath. For the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall grow old like a garment, and those who dwell in it shall die in like manner. But my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

⁸ For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool. But my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations.

¹⁴ And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

²⁵ Then king Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you. ²⁶ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and steadfast forever.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Having gone into all the world, preach ye the good news to the whole creation.

²⁵ Now to him who is able to establish you according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to a revelation of the mystery that has been kept secret for eternal times,

⁹ and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery hidden from the ages in God who created all things through Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ So that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principal offices and the positions of authority in the heavenly things, through the church, ¹¹ according to the purpose of the ages, which he made in Christ Jesus our Lord,

²³ If ye truly continue in the faith, founded, and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the good news that ye heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I Paul became a helper.

¹⁶ And may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father who loved us and gave eternal encouragement and good hope through grace,

¹ Paul, a bondman of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen of God, and the knowledge of truth according to piety, ² in hope of eternal life, which the non-lying God promised before times eternal, ³ but in his own times he made known his word by preaching, which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

²⁰ Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of an eternal covenant-our Lord Jesus-

¹⁰ Because thou keep the word of my perseverance, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole inhabited world, to try those who dwell upon the earth.

¹³ And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, to those who dwell on the earth from the remaining sounds of the trumpet of the three agents who are going to sound.

⁷ And it was given it to make war with the sanctified, and to overcome them. And authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to it.

¹² And he said, Do not lay thy hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything to him. For now I know that thou fear God, since thou have not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me.

¹¹ for in six days LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

¹⁹ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him, and tell me now what thou have done. Hide it not from me.

⁵ Therefore ye shall make images of your tumors, and images of your mice that mar the land. And ye shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

⁶ Thou are LORD, even thou alone, thou have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and thou preserve them all. And the host of heaven worships thee.

⁶ By the word of LORD were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

¹ The transgression of the wicked man says within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

⁷ a God very awesome in the council of the holy ones, and to be feared above all those who are round about him?

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it. And his hands formed the dry land.

⁸ Our help is in the name of LORD, who made heaven and earth.

⁵ Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in LORD his God, ⁶ who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps truth forever,

²² LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. ²³ I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, before the earth was, ²⁴ when there were no depths. I was brought forth when there were no fountains abounding with water, ²⁵ before the mountains were settled, before the hills. I was brought forth ²⁶ while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the beginning of the dust of the world. ²⁷ When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle upon the face of the deep, ²⁸ when he made firm the skies above, when the fountains of the deep became strong, ²⁹ when he gave to the sea its bound that the waters should not transgress his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, ³⁰ then I was by him, a master workman. And I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him, ³¹ rejoicing in his habitable earth. And my delight was with the sons of men.

¹³ This is the end of the matter, all has been heard: Fear God, and keep his commandments, for this is the whole of man. ¹⁴ For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.

³ The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

⁶ The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness of it is as the flower of the field.

⁹ O thou who tell good news to Zion, get thee up on a high mountain. O thou who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength. Lift it up, be not afraid, say to the cities of Judah, Behold, your God!

¹² Let them give glory to LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.

²³ Sing, O ye heavens, for LORD has done it. Shout, ye lower parts of the earth. Break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein. For LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

⁷ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Thy God reigns! ⁸ The voice of thy watchmen! They lift up the voice; they sing together. For they shall see eye to eye, when LORD returns to Zion.

¹ Cry aloud, spare not. Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

¹⁰ But LORD is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath the earth trembles, and the nations are not able to abide his indignation.

² And thou, son of man, thus says the lord LORD to the land of Israel: An end. The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

⁶ An end has come. The end has come. It awakens against thee. Behold, it comes.

¹⁹ And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

¹ Set the trumpet to thy mouth. As an eagle he comes against the house of LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

² If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory to my name, says LORD of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.

¹³ Watch therefore, because ye know not the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.

¹⁸ Were there none found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. ²⁶ For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. ²⁷ And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. ²⁸ Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, ²⁹ and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.

¹⁵ and saying, Men, why are ye doing these things? We also are men of like nature with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all the things in them,

²³ For, passing through and examining your religious objects, I also found an altar on which had been engraved, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye worship unknowingly, him I proclaim to you. ²⁴ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands, ²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing anything, since he himself gives to all life, and breath, with all things.

⁷ But the end of all things has approached. Therefore be serious, and be sober for the prayers.

⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages,

¹¹ Thou are worthy, our Lord and God, the Holy, to take the glory and the honor and the power, because thou created all things, and because by thy will they are, and were created.

¹⁰ And the third agent sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven burning like a torch, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the springs of the waters.

¹³ And in that day a great earthquake occurred, and the tenth part of the city fell. And seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became afraid, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

¹⁸ And the nations were angry. And thy wrath came, and the time of the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to thy bondmen the prophets, and to the sanctified, and to those who fear thy name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth.

⁴ Who will, no, not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name, because thou alone are holy? Because all the nations will come and worship before thee, because thy righteous deeds were made known.

⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory.

¹⁰ having stood from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! Because thy judgment has come in one hour.

¹⁷ Because in one hour such great wealth was devastated. And every shipmaster, and every man who sails anywhere, and sailors, and as many as work by sea, stood from afar

¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Alas, alas, the great city in which all who had ships in the sea became rich from her luxuriance! Because in one hour she was devastated.

⁵ And a voice came forth from the throne, saying, Praise ye our God, all his bondmen and those who fear him, the small and the great.

⁹ and, behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon. And all the graven images of her gods are broken to the ground.

⁷ Babylon has been a golden cup in LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken. The nations have drunk of her wine, therefore the nations are mad. ⁸ Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed. Wail for her. Take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.

⁶⁴ And thou shall say, Thus Babylon shall sink, and shall not rise again because of the evil that I will bring upon her, and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

¹⁵ But thou trusted in thy beauty, and played the harlot because of thy renown, and poured out thy whoredoms on everyone who passed by; his it was. ¹⁶ And thou took of thy garments, and made high places for thee, decked with various colors, and played the harlot upon them, things which should not come, nor should it be. ¹⁷ Thou also took thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and made for thee images of men, and played the harlot with them. ¹⁸ And thou took thy embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my incense before them. ¹⁹ My bread also which I gave thee, fine flour and oil and honey, with which I fed thee, thou even set it before them for a sweet savor, and thus it was, says the lord LORD. ²⁰ Moreover thou have taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou have borne to me, and thou have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Were thy whoredoms a small matter, ²¹ that thou have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them? ²² And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou have not remembered the days of thy youth when thou were naked and bare, and were weltering in thy blood.

³⁰ The king spoke and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling-place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?

¹⁹ There is no assuaging of thy hurt. Thy wound is grievous. All who hear the report of thee clap their hands over thee, for upon whom has not thy wickedness passed continually?

⁸ And their corpses are in the thoroughfare of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

¹⁵ And it was given it to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast would both speak, and would make as many as would not ever worship the image of the beast be killed.

¹⁹ And the great city became in three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And the great Babylon was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger.

² with whom the kings of the earth fornicated, and those who inhabit the earth were made drunken with the wine of her fornication. ³ And he carried me away in spirit into a wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast containing names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. ⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup containing abominations and the filthy things of her fornication, ⁵ and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF WHORES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the sanctified, and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I wondered with great amazement.

¹⁸ And the woman whom thou saw is the great city having reign over the kings of the earth.

² And he cried out in a mighty voice, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen, and became a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hated bird. ³ Because all the nations have drunk from the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her wantonness.

¹⁰ having stood from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! Because thy judgment has come in one hour. ¹¹ And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn for her, because no man buys their merchandise any more,

¹⁸ and cried out seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city? ¹⁹ And they cast dust on their heads, and cried out, weeping and mourning, and saying, Alas, alas, the great city in which all who had ships in the sea became rich from her luxuriance! Because in one hour she was devastated. ²⁰ Be glad over her, thou heaven, and the sanctified, and the apostles, and the prophets, because God has decreed your judgment of her. ²¹ And one mighty agent took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus in violence Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and will, no, not be found any more.

² Because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great whore who ruined the earth by her fornication, and he has avenged the blood of his bondmen from her hand.

⁴ However I sent all my servants the prophets to you, rising up early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not do this abominable thing that I hate.

³ And one of its heads was as in death, having been killed. And its deadly wound was healed. And the whole earth marveled behind the beast. ⁴ And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like the beast, and who is able to war against it? ⁵ And a mouth was given to it speaking great things and blasphemy. And authority was given it to make war forty-two months. ⁶ And it opened its mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, those who dwell in heaven.

¹¹ And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns similar to a lamb, and it spoke like a dragon. ¹² And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and those who dwell in it so that they would worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ And it does great signs, so that even fire would come down out of the sky upon the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And it leads my kind astray (those dwelling on the earth) because of the signs that were given it to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast that had the sword-wound and lived.

⁶ And I saw an agent flying in mid-heaven having eternal good news to proclaim to those who sit on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, ⁷ saying in a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. And worship him who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and springs of waters. ⁸ And another, a second agent, followed, saying, Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen. She has given all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment ascends into the ages of ages. And they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and its image, and if any man receives the mark of its name.

²⁴ Then LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from LORD out of heaven.

²³ The whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath,

¹⁵ There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

²⁰ Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

⁶ He will rain snares upon sinners. Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.

³⁴ Wait for LORD, and keep his way, and he will exalt thee to inherit the land. When sinners are cut off, thou shall see it.

⁶ The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,

³ Thou have shown thy people hard things. Thou have made us to drink the wine of staggering.

¹⁰ Therefore his people return here, and waters of a full cup are drained by them.

⁸ For in the hand of LORD there is a cup, and the wine foams. It is full of mixture, and he pours out of the same, surely to the dregs of it. All the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

⁸ Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Tarry ye and wonder, take your pleasure and be blind. They are drunken, but not with wine. They stagger, but not with strong drink.

³³ For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of LORD kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.

⁹ And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and the dust of it into brimstone. And the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

¹⁷ Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, who have drunk at the hand of LORD the cup of his wrath. Thou have drunk the bowl of the cup of staggering, and drained it.

²¹ Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine. ²² Thus says thy lord LORD, and thy God who pleads the cause of his people: Behold, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath. Thou shall no more drink it again.

¹⁵ For thus says LORD, the God of Israel, to me: Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. ¹⁶ And they shall drink, and reel to and fro, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. ¹⁷ Then I took the cup at LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom LORD had sent me:

²⁷ And thou shall say to them, Thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and spew, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

¹² For thus says LORD: Behold, those to whom it did not pertain to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink. And are thou he who shall go altogether unpunished? Thou shall not go unpunished, but thou shall surely drink.

⁵⁷ And I will make drunk her rulers and her wise men, her governors and her deputies, and her mighty men. And they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is LORD of hosts.

²¹ Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, who dwells in the land of Uz. Yet the cup shall pass through to thee also. Thou shall be drunken, and shall make thyself naked.

⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see that I, LORD, have kindled it. It shall not be quenched.

¹⁶ Thou are filled with shame, and not glory. Drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised. The cup of LORD's right hand shall come around to thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.

⁴¹ The Son of man will send forth his agents, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks, and those doing lawlessness, ⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

⁴⁹ So it will be at the end of the age. The agents will come forth, and separate the bad from among the righteous, ⁵⁰ and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

²² But having answered, Jesus said, Ye know not what ye are asking. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am going to drink, or to be immersed the immersion that I am immersed? They say to him, We are able.

⁴¹ Then he will also say to those at the left hand, Depart from me, ye accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his agents.

³⁹ And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face praying, and saying, My Father, if it be possible, may this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I want, but as thou.

⁸ in a fire of flame rendering vengeance to those who have not known God, and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ Men who will suffer punishment, a penalty of eternal destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

⁷ As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, the same kind of way with these who indulged in fornication, and who went rear of queer flesh, are set forth an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

¹⁷ And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sit on them having breastplates fiery red, and hyacinth color, and brimstone. And the heads of the horses are like heads of lions, and out of their mouths come fire and smoke and brimstone. ¹⁸ By these three plagues the third part of men was killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone coming out of their mouths.

³ Because all the nations have drunk from the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the kings of the earth fornicated with her, and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her wantonness.

⁶ Render to her as she also rendered to you, and double to her two-fold according to her works. In the cup that she mixed, mix two-fold for her.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.

¹⁰ And the devil who leads them astray was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also were the beast and the false prophet. And they will be tormented day and night into the ages of the ages.

⁸ But for the cowards, and unbelieving, and sinful, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

²⁸ And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the Plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.

¹⁸ LORD shall reign forever and ever.

⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul.

¹⁶ LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.

¹ I will extol thee, my God, O King, and I will bless thy name forever and ever.

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the profane. Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?

¹⁰ It shall not be quenched night nor day. The smoke of it shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste. None shall pass through it forever and ever.

²⁰ But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it cannot rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

³⁰ And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

²⁸ Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.

⁴⁶ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

⁴³ And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life maimed, than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, ⁴⁴ where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵ And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off. It is good for thee to enter into life crippled, than having thy two feet to be cast into hell, into the unquenchable fire ⁴⁶ where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁷ And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, pluck it out. It is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire, ⁴⁸ where their worm does not perish, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹ For every man will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt material.

²³ And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. ²⁴ And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.

⁸ But toward the Son, Thy throne, O God, is into the age of the age. The scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of straightness.

⁸ And the four living creatures, one by one, each having six wings, are full of eyes around and inside. And they have no cessation day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord, the Almighty God, he was, and who is, and who is coming. ⁹ And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne, he who lives into the ages of the ages, ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders would fall down before him who sits on the throne, and would worship him who lives into the ages of the ages, and would cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

¹³ And every creature that is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and is in the sea, and things in them all, I heard saying, The blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and the dominion is to him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb, into the ages of the ages. Truly! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures were saying the Truly. And the elders fell down and worshiped.

¹² saying, Truly! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and strength, is for our God into the ages of the ages. Truly!

¹² And it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it. And it made the earth and those who dwell in it so that they would worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

⁹ And another agent, a third, followed them, saying in a great voice, If any man worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

¹⁸ and cried out seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What is like the great city?

³ And a second time they said, Praise the Lord! And the smoke of her ascended into the ages of the ages.

⁵ And there will be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp and the light of sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them. And they will reign into the ages of the ages.

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.

⁸ I know thy works. Behold, I have given before thee an opened door that none is able to shut it, because thou have little power, and thou keep my word, and did not deny my name.

¹⁷ And the dragon was angry toward the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, those keeping the commandments of God, and having the testimony of Jesus.

¹⁰ If any man keeps in captivity, he goes. If any man kills with a sword, he must be killed with a sword. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the sanctified.

¹⁷ There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. ¹⁸ There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster. ¹⁹ The small and the great are there. And the servant is free from his master.

¹¹ Moreover by them thy servant is warned. In keeping them there is great reward.

¹³ Righteousness shall go before him, and shall make his footsteps a path.

¹ Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter. And on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter. ² Therefore I praised the dead who have long been dead more than the living who are yet alive.

¹⁰ And the ransomed of LORD shall return, and come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

¹ The righteous man perishes, and no man lays it to heart. And merciful men are taken away; none considering that the righteous man is taken away from the evil. ² He enters into peace. They rest in their beds, each one who walks in his uprightness.

¹⁷ And lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

³⁵ For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat. I was thirsty, and ye gave me to drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in, ³⁶ naked, and ye clothed me. I was feeble, and ye came to help me. I was in prison, and ye came to me. ³⁷ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see thee hungering, and fed thee, or thirsting, and gave thee drink? ³⁸ And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in, or naked, and clothed thee? ³⁹ And when did we see thee weak, or in prison, and came to thee? ⁴⁰ And having answered, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, inasmuch as ye did it to one of these my brothers, the least, ye did it to me.

⁹ And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.

⁸ For both if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Both if we live and if we die, therefore, we are the Lord's.

¹⁸ Then also those who slept in Christ have perished.

⁵⁸ Therefore, my beloved brothers, become ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not empty in the Lord.

⁸ And we are confident, and are pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be at home near the Lord.

⁷ Be not misled, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows this he will also reap. ⁸ Because he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not. ²³ And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better.

¹⁷ Yet even if I am poured out a libation upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and arose, so also those who became asleep through Jesus, God will bring with him.

¹⁶ Because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of the arch-agent, and with a trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first,

¹⁰ So that, whether we are awake or sleep, we should live together with him.

⁶ Since it is a righteous thing according to God to repay restriction to those who restrict you, ⁷ and relief with us, to you who are restricted, at the revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his agents of power

⁷ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith. ⁸ Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me in that day, and not to me only, but also to all those who have loved his appearing. ⁹ There remains therefore a sabbath for the people of God. ¹⁰ For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own. ¹¹ Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, so that not any man may fall by the same example of disobedience.

¹⁰ For God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the labor of love that ye showed toward his name, having served the sanctified, and who are serving. ¹¹ And we earnestly desire each of you to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,

¹¹ saying, What thou see, write in a book and send to the seven congregations: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹ To the agent of the congregation in Ephesus write, These things says he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:

¹¹ And a white robe was given to them each, and it was said to them that they should still rest a time, until also their fellow bondmen, and their brothers, and those going to be killed as they too, would be fulfilled.

⁴ And when the seven thunders uttered, I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord was seen in his temple. And there occurred lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and great hail.

¹⁷ And the seventh agent poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, out of the throne, saying, It has come to pass.

⁹ And he says to me, Write, Blessed are those who have been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true sayings of God.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.

⁵ And he who sits upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, because these words are true and faithful.

³ For thou meet him with the blessings of goodness. Thou set a crown of fine gold on his head.

² Clouds and darkness are round about him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

¹ The burden of Egypt. Behold, LORD rides upon a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. And the idols of Egypt shall tremble at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

²⁶ And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven someone like a son of man. And he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

¹² Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about. ¹³ Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow. For their wickedness is great.

³⁰ Allow both to grow together until the harvest. And at the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles in order to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.

⁵ While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him.

²⁹ But when the fruit yields, straightaway he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.

²⁷ And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and much glory.

⁹ But we see Jesus who has been made a little something less than the agents, who, because of the suffering of death, has been crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God he would taste of death for every man.

⁷ Behold, he comes with the clouds and every eye will see him, even the men who pierced him. And all the tribes of the earth will wail against him. Yea, Truly.

¹³ And in the midst of the seven lampstands, resembling a son of man, he who was clothed down to the foot, and girded about with a golden belt at the breasts.

² And behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it having a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, and so that he might conquer.

¹ And I saw a mighty agent coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,

¹⁷ saying, We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, who is and was, because thou have taken thy great power and reigned.

¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sits on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. ¹⁷ And another agent came out from the temple in heaven, also himself having a sharp sickle.

¹² And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head are many diadems having names written, and a name written that none knows except he himself,

¹¹ And I saw a great white throne, and him who sits upon it, from whose face the earth and the sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

⁶ And he believed in LORD, and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

¹ For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.

⁶ I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem. They shall never keep silent day nor night. Ye who are LORD's reminders, take ye no rest, ⁷ and give him no rest, till he establishes, and till he makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

³³ For thus says LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor at the time when it is trodden. Yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.

¹³ Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow. For their wickedness is great.

⁶ And I said, What is it? And he said, This is the ephah that goes forth. He said moreover, This is their appearance in all the land ⁷ (and, behold, a talent of lead was lifted up), and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah. ⁸ And he said, This is Wickedness. And he cast her down into the midst of the ephah, and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth of it. ⁹ Then I lifted up my eyes, and looked. And, behold, there came forth two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah between earth and heaven. ¹⁰ Then I said to the agent who talked with me, Where do these carry the ephah? ¹¹ And he said to me, To build her a house in the land of Shinar. And when it is prepared, she shall be set there in her own place.

³⁹ And the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are agents.

³² Then fill ye up the measure of your fathers.

¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, in order to fill up their sins always. But wrath came upon them finally.

¹⁰ And they cried out in a great voice, saying, Master, Holy and True, how long do thou not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell on the earth?

¹⁸ And another agent came out from the altar having power over the fire. And he cried out in a great shout to him who has the sharp sickle, saying, Send forth thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the grapevine of the earth, because its grapes are fully ripe.

⁶ And the seven agents came forth from the temple having the seven plagues, who were clothed in pure bright linen, and golden belts girded around their breasts.

²⁷ For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his agents, and then he will reward each man according to his actions.

²² For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.

¹⁹ And the agent sent his sickle to the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

¹ And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven agents, Go ye and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth. ² And the first went and poured out his bowl into the earth, and a bad and evil sore developed upon the men who have the mark of the beast and who worship its image. ³ And the second agent poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like of a dead man, and every living soul in the sea died. ⁴ And the third agent poured out his bowl into the rivers and into the springs of the waters, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the agent of the waters saying, Thou are righteous who is and was-the Divine-because thou judged these things. ⁶ Because they poured out the blood of the sanctified and prophets, and thou have given them blood to drink; they are deserving. ⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments. ⁸ And the fourth agent poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given him to scorch men with fire. ⁹ And the men were scorched with great heat. And the men blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues, and they did not repent to give him glory. ¹⁰ And the fifth agent poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they gnawed their tongues from the anguish. ¹¹ And they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and from their sores. And they did not repent of their works. ¹² And the sixth agent poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and the water of it was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared. ¹³ And I saw 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 that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together to the battle of that great day of the Almighty God. ¹⁵ (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, so that he may not walk naked, and they see his shame.) ¹⁶ And he gathered them together into the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon. ¹⁷ And the seventh agent poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came forth out of the temple of heaven, out of the throne, saying, It has come to pass. ¹⁸ And there occurred lightnings, and thunders, and voices. And a great earthquake occurred, such as did not happen from that time men came to be upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, so great. ¹⁹ And the great city became in three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And the great Babylon was remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the wrath of his anger. ²⁰ And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. ²¹ And great hail, like a talent weight, descended out of the sky upon men. And the men blasphemed God from the plague of the hail, because the plague of it was exceedingly great.

¹⁴ And I looked, and behold, a white cloud. And sitting upon the cloud, like a son of man, having a golden crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. ¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe.

⁵ And after these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶ And the seven agents came forth from the temple having the seven plagues, who were clothed in pure bright linen, and golden belts girded around their breasts.

¹ And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven agents, Go ye and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God into the earth.

⁹ And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony of the Lamb that they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out in a great voice, saying, Master, Holy and True, how long do thou not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell on the earth?

¹⁵ And another agent came out from the temple, crying out in a great voice to him who sits on the cloud, Send forth thy sickle and reap, because the hour has come to reap, because the harvest of the earth is ripe. ¹⁶ And he who sits on the cloud cast his sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped.

⁸ And the fourth agent poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given him to scorch men with fire.

³² For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter. ³³ Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps.

¹⁵ And a sharp two-edged sword comes out of his mouth, so that he would smite the nations by it. And he will tend them with a rod of iron. And he treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of the Almighty God. ¹⁶ And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. ¹⁷ And I saw one agent having stood in the sun, and he cried out in a great voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, Come, gather together to the great supper of God, ¹⁸ so that ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of those who sit upon them, and the flesh of all men, both freemen and bondmen, and both small and great. ¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies gathered together to make war against him who sits upon the horse, and against his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken, and the false prophet with it who did the signs in its sight by which he led astray those who received the mark of the beast and those who worship its image. The two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone. ²¹ And the others were killed by the sword that comes forth out of his mouth (of him who sits upon the horse), and all the birds were filled from their flesh.

⁵ For my sword has drunk its fill in heaven. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. ⁶ The sword of LORD is filled with blood. It is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams, for LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. ⁷ And the wild oxen shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls. And their land shall be drunken with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

¹ Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this who is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save. ² Why are thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him who treads in the wine vat? ³ I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no man with me. Yea, I trod them in my anger, and trampled them in my wrath, and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment.

²⁴ And they shall go forth, and look upon the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me. For their worm shall not die, nor shall their fire be quenched, and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh.

¹⁵ The Lord has trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me. He has called a solemn assembly against me to crush my young men. The Lord has trodden the virgin daughter of Judah as in a winepress.

¹⁷ And thou, son of man, thus says the lord LORD: Speak to the birds of every sort, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come. Gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh and drink blood. ¹⁸ Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the rulers of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. ¹⁹ And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. ²⁰ And ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the lord LORD. ²¹ And I will set my glory among the nations. And all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

¹¹ For of the beasts whose blood is brought into the holy things for sin by the high priest, the bodies of these are burned outside the camp. ¹² Therefore Jesus also, so that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered outside the gate.

¹⁴ And the armies in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, pure white.
