1 Then I saw another great and astonishing portent in heaven: seven
angels with seven plagues, the last plagues of all, for with them the
wrath of God is consummated.
2 I saw what seemed a sea of glass shot with fire, and beside the sea
of glass, holding the harps which God had given them, were those
who had won the victory over the beast and its image and the number
of its name.
3 They were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the
song of the Lamb, as they chanted:
‘Great and marvellous are thy deeds, O Lord God, sovereign
over all; just and true are thy ways, thou king of the ages. note
4 Who
shall not revere thee, Lord, and do homage to thy name? For
thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and worship in thy
presence, for thy just dealings stand revealed.’
5 After this, as I looked, the sanctuary of the heavenly Tent of
Testimony was thrown open,
6 and out of it came the seven angels with
the seven plagues. They were robed in fine linen, clean and shining,
and had golden girdles round their breasts.
7 Then one of the four

living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of
the wrath of God who lives for ever and ever;
8 and the sanctuary
was filled with smoke from the glory of God and his power, so that
no one could enter it until the seven plagues of the seven angels
were completed.
