XVI.
AND I heard a great voice [from the temple 2] saying to the seven angels, Go, and pour forth the seven vials of the wrath of Aloha upon the earth.
And the first went, and poured his vial upon the earth: and there became an ulcer, evil and painful, upon the men who had the mark of the beast of prey, and who worshipped the image of him.
And the second angel poured his vial upon the sea; and it became blood as of the dead, and every living soul died which was in the sea.
And the third angel poured his vial upon the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters, and they became blood.
And I heard the angel of the waters saying,
Righteous art Thou, who art,
And who wast, and just;
Because thou hast judged these.
For the blood of saints and of prophets have they shed,
And blood to them hast thou given to drink
For they are worthy.
And I heard from the altar [voices] saying,
Yes, Lord God Almighty !
True and just is thy judgment.
And the fourth poured out his vial upon the sun, and it was given to him to scorch men with fire; and men were scorched with great heat; and men blasphemed the name of Aloha who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory.
And the fifth poured his vial upon the throne of the beast of prey; and his kingdom became darkness, and they gnawed their tongues from pain; and they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains, and from their ulcers, and repented not of their works.
And the sixth poured his vial upon the great river Phrat, and his waters were dried, that might be prepared the way of the kings who (are) from the rising of the sun.
And I saw 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. For they are spirits of demons, working signs; they go to the kings of the whole inhabited world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of Aloha the Omnipotent.
And BEHOLD, I COME, as the thief. Blessed is he who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest naked he walk, and they see his shame.
And they gathered them to a place which is called in Hebrew Armagedon.
And the seventh poured his vial upon the air; and a great voice went forth from the temple, from the throne, saying,
IT IS DONE.
And there were lightnings and thunders and voices, and a great movement, such as was not since men were upon earth, as this movement so great. And the great city became three parts, and the city of the nations fell; and Babel the great was remembered before Aloha, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath. And every island fled, and the mountains were not found. And great hail, as of a talent (in weight), was from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed Aloha from the plague of hail, because the plague thereof was exceeding great.
2 Polyglot.
