Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in Hebrew Armageddon. 17 And the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air; and a loud voice came from the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices and thunders and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such a mighty and great earthquake as has not occurred since men were on the earth. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell; and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And great hail fell upon men out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague was exceedingly great.
