But they refused to repent and glorify him. 10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony, 11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and sores, but they refused to repent of their deeds. 12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits that looked like frogs coming out of the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world to gather them for battle on the great day of God Almighty. 15 Look, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps their clothes with them, so they will not walk around naked and be shamefully exposed. 16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon. 17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, 'It is done!'. 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a massive earthquake—an earthquake so great that none like it has occurred since mankind has been on earth. 19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed.
