Revelation · Chapter 16

[ edit] And I herde a greet voys fro heuen, ſeiynge to þe ſeuen aungelis, Go ȝe, and ſchede ȝe out þe ſeuen violes of Goddis wraþ in to erþe. And þe firſt aungel wente, and ſhedde out his viole in to erþe; and a wounde feers and worſt is maad in alle þat hadden þe carecte, or marke, of þe beeſt, and in to hem þat worſchipiden þe beeſt, and his ymage. And þe ſecounde aungel ſhedde out his viole in to þe ſe, and blood is maad, as of deed þing; and ech ſoule, or lijf, lyuynge is deed in þe ſe. And þe þridde ſhedde out his viole on þe floodes, and on welles of watris, blood is maad.

And I herde þe aungel of watirs ſeiynge, Juſt art þou, Lord, þat art, and þat was holy, þat demyſt þes þingis; for þei ſhedden out þe blood of halewis and prophetis, and þou haſt ȝouun hem blood for to drinke; forſoþe þei ben worþi. And I herde an oþer aungel ſeiynge, Ȝhe! Lord God almiȝty, trewe and iuſt þi domes. And þe fourþe aungel ſhedde out his viol in to þe ſunne, and it is ȝouun to him for to tourmente men wiþ heete and fijr. And men ſwayleden wiþ greet heete, and blasfemeden þe name of God hauynge power on þes plages, neþer þei diden penaunce, þat þei ſhulden ȝiue glory to him.

And þe fyueþe aungel ſhedde out his viole on þe ſeete of þe beeſt, and his kyngdom is maad derk; and þei eeten to gydere her tunges for ſorowe, and þei blasfemeden God of heuen, for ſorowis and her woundis; and þei diden not penaunce of her werkis. And þe ſixte aungel ſhedde out his viole in þe ilke greet flood Eufrates, and driede þe watir of it, þat weie were rediede to kyngis fro þe ſunne riſyng. And I ſiȝe þre vnclene ſpirites in to manere of froggis for to go out of þe mouþ of þe dragoun, and of þe mouþ of þe beeſt, and of þe mouþ of þe falſe prophet.

Soþeli þei ben ſpirites of deuelis, makinge ſignes, and þei gon forþ to kyngis of al erþe, for to gedere hem in to bateyle, to þe greet dai of almiȝti God. Lo! I come, as a niȝt þeef. Bleſſid he þat wakiþ, and kepiþ his cloþes, þat he wandre not nakid, and þei ſeen his filþhed. And he gederide hem in to a place, þat is clepid in Ebru Hermagedon. And þe ſeuenþe aungel ſhedde out his viole in to þe eyr, and a greet voys wente out of heuen fro þe trone, ſeiynge, It is don. And leytinges ben maad, and voyces, and þundres; and greet erþe mouyng is maad, which manere neuere was, ſiþ men weren vpon erþe, ſich erþe mouyng ſo greet.

And þe greet citee is brokun in to þre parties, and þe citees of heþene men fellen doun; and greet Babilon cam in to mynde bifore God, for to ȝiue to it þe cuppe of wijn of indignacioun of his wraþ. And ech ijle fley awey, and hilles ben not founde. And greet hayl as a talent cam doun fro heuen in to men; and men blasfemeden God, for þe plage of hayl, for it is maad wondirly greet.
