And I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful, seven angels having  ¹seven plagues, the last plagues; for in them the fury of God was finished.

And I saw as it were a  ¹glassy sea mingled with fire and  ²those who come away victorious from the beast and from his image and from the number of his name  ³standing on the glassy sea, having harps of God.

And they sing the  ¹song of Moses, the slave of God, and the  ²song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful are Your works, Lord God the Almighty! Righteous and true are Your  ³ways, O King of the  ⁴nations!

Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are  ¹holy; for all the nations will come and worship before You, for Your  ²righteous judgments have been manifested.

And after these things I saw, and the  ¹temple of the Tabernacle of the  ²Testimony in heaven was opened,

And the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple,  ¹clothed in clean bright linen and girded around the breasts with golden girdles.

And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the fury of God, who lives forever and ever.

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and  ¹no one could enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

And I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven  ¹bowls of the fury of God into the earth.

And the first went and poured out his bowl into the earth; and there came to be an evil and malignant  ¹sore upon the men who have the mark of the beast and worship his image.

And the second poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and  ¹every living soul that was in the sea died.

And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

And I heard the angel who had power over the waters saying, You are  ¹righteous,  ²who is and who was, the  ¹Holy One, because You have judged these things;

For they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink; they are worthy of it.

And I heard the altar saying,  ¹Yes, Lord God the Almighty,  ²true and righteous are Your judgments.

And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun; and it was given to it to burn men with fire.

And men were burned with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the  ¹throne of the beast; and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues for pain

And blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains and for their sores; and they did not repent of their works.

And the  ¹sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates; and its water was dried up that the way of the kings from the rising of the sun might be prepared.

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  ¹unclean spirits as frogs;

For they are spirits of demons doing signs, which go forth to the kings of the whole inhabited earth to gather them to the war of the great day of God the Almighty.

(Behold, I  ¹come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments that he may not walk naked and they see his shame.)

And they  ¹gathered them to the place which in Hebrew is called,  ²Armageddon.

And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air; and a loud voice came out of the  ¹temple from the throne, saying, It is  ²done.

And there were lightnings and voices and thunders; and there was a great  ¹earthquake, such as had not been since man appeared on the earth, such an earthquake, so great.

And the  ¹great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And  ²Babylon the Great was remembered before God to give her the cup of the  ³wine of the fury of His wrath.

And every island fled, and the mountains were not found.

And great hail, every stone about the weight of a  ¹talent, came down out of heaven upon men; and men  ²blasphemed God for the plague of the hail, because the plague of it is exceedingly great.

The burden which  ¹Habakkuk the prophet saw.

How long, O Jehovah, shall I cry
And You do not hear?
I cry out to You, Violence!
And You do not save.

Why do You cause me to see iniquity
And look upon wrong?
Indeed destruction and violence are before me;
And there is strife, and contention arises.

Therefore the law is ineffective,
And justice never goes forth;
For the wicked encompasses the righteous,
Therefore justice goes forth perverted.

Look among the nations, and see,
And be amazed, utterly amazed.
For I am doing a work in your days
Which you would not believe if it were told you.

For I am about to raise up the Chaldeans,
That bitter and hasty nation
That marches through the breadth of the earth
To possess habitations that are not  ¹theirs.

They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their authority issue from themselves.

And their horses are swifter than leopards
And more agile than the wolves of evening.
And their horsemen prance about;
Indeed their horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an eagle that hastens to devour.

All of them come to do violence;
The set of their faces is forward,
And they gather captives like sand.

Indeed they scoff at kings,
And potentates are a derision to them;
They deride every fortress,
For they heap up dirt and take it.

Then they will sweep through like the wind and pass over
And thus become guilty; this — their strength — is their god.

Are You not from everlasting, O Jehovah,
My God, my Holy One? We will not die.
O Jehovah, You have appointed  ¹them for judgment;
And You, O Rock, have established  ¹them for correction.

You who are of purer eyes than to behold evil
And who cannot look upon wrong,
Why do You look upon them who deal treacherously
And keep silent when the wicked man swallows up him who is  ¹more righteous than he?

And You make man like the fish of the sea,
Like the creeping things, who have no one to rule for them.

They take all of them up with a hook;
They drag them off in their net
And gather them into their seine;
So they rejoice and exult.

Therefore they offer sacrifices to their net
And burn incense to their seine,
For by them their portion is fat
And their food is plenteous.

Will they then empty their net
And continually slay the nations without sparing?

I will stand at my watch
And station myself on the fortress,
And I will watch to see what He will speak to me
And what I will reply concerning my complaint.

Then Jehovah answered and said,
Write the  ¹vision, and render it plainly upon tablets,
 ²That even he who runs by may read it.

For the vision is yet for the appointed time,
And it hastens toward the end and will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will surely come; it will not delay.

See, he who is puffed up, his soul is not upright within him,
 ¹But the righteous one will  ²live by his faith.

Furthermore his wine is treacherous:
A boasting man, he does not abide at home,
He who enlarges his appetite like  ¹Sheol,
And is like death and cannot be satisfied,
But gathers to himself all the nations
And collects for himself all the peoples.

Will not all of these take up a parable against him,
Indeed a mocking song and a riddle against him, and say,
Woe to him who increases what is not his (For how long?)
And who loads himself with the burden of pledges?

Will not those who bite you rise up suddenly,
And those who shake you awake,
And you will become booty to them?

Because you have plundered many nations;
All the remnant of the peoples will  ¹plunder you,
Because of the bloodshed of men and the violence done to the land,
To the city, and to all the inhabitants in it.

Woe to him who by violence takes evil gain for his house,
So as to place his nest on high
That he may be delivered from the hand of evil!

You have devised shame against your own house
By cutting off many peoples,
And have sinned against your own soul.

For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the rafter will answer from the timber.

Woe to him who builds a city by bloodshed
And establishes a town by iniquity!

Indeed is it not of Jehovah of hosts
That the peoples toil for the fire
And the nations weary themselves for vanity?

For the earth will be  ¹filled
With the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah
As water covers the sea.

Woe to him who makes his neighbor drink,
Adding in  ¹his poison,
And also making him drunk
In order to look at their nakedness!

You are sated with shame, not glory.
You also, drink and be shown to be uncircumcised!
The cup of Jehovah's right hand will come around to you,
And disgrace will be upon your glory.

For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you,
As well as the destruction of the beasts which frightened them,
Because of the bloodshed of men and the violence done to the land,
To the city, and to all the inhabitants in it.

What profit is the graven idol that its maker should engrave it,
Or the molten idol, even the teacher of lies,
That he who forms its form depends on it
To make dumb idols?

Woe to him who says to wood, Awake!
And, Arise! to silent stone.
Will it teach him?
Behold, it is set in gold and silver,
And there is no breath at all within it.

But Jehovah is in His holy temple:
Be silent before Him, all the earth!

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet in  ¹shigionoth.

O Jehovah, I have heard the report concerning You and am afraid.
O Jehovah,  ¹revive Your work
In the midst of the years;
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember compassion.

God comes from Teman,
Even the Holy One from Mount Paran.  ¹Selah
His splendor covers the heavens,
And the earth is filled with His praise.

And His brightness is like the light:
Rays come forth from His hand,
And the hiding of His power is there.

Before Him goes pestilence,
And the fire bolt comes forth at His feet.

He stands and  ¹measures the earth;
He looks and startles the nations;
And the ancient mountains are shattered into dust,
And the everlasting hills sink down;
His goings are eternal.

I see the tents of  ¹Cushan
Under affliction;
The tent curtains of the land of Midian tremble.

Is it against the rivers, O Jehovah,
Against the rivers that Your anger is kindled?
Is Your overflowing wrath against the sea
That You ride upon Your horses,
Upon Your chariots of salvation?

Your bow is bared utterly;
The rods of discipline are sworn according to Your word. Selah
You cleave the earth with rivers.

The mountains see you; they writhe;
The tempest of water passes by;
The deep utters its voice,
It lifts its hands high.

The sun and the moon stand still in their high abode
At the light of Your arrows going forth,
At the brightness of Your glittering spear.

In wrath You march through the earth,
In anger You thresh the nations.

You go forth for the salvation of Your people,
For the salvation of Your anointed one,
You strike the head from the house of the wicked one,
Laying bare the foundation, even to the neck. Selah

You pierce, with his own staves,
The heads of his warriors.
They come out like a whirlwind to scatter me;
Their exultation is as if to devour the poor in secret.

You tread the sea with Your horses,
The heap of mighty waters.

I heard and my body trembled;
My lips quivered at the sound.
Rottenness entered my bones,
And I tremble in my place,
Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress,
When  ¹he who attacks comes up against the people.

For the fig tree will not sprout,
And there will be no yield on the vines;
The labor on the olive tree will fail,
And the fields will make no food;
The flock will be cut off from the fold,
And there will be no herd in the stalls.

Yet I will exult in Jehovah;
I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.

Jehovah the Lord is my strength;
And He makes my feet like hinds' feet
And will cause me to walk on my high places.
For the choir director, with  ¹my stringed instruments.
