16:8 第四位天使把碗倒在日頭上，叫日頭能用火烤人。
16:9 人被大熱所烤，就褻瀆那有權掌管這些災的上帝之名，並不悔改將榮耀歸給上帝。
16:10 第五位天使把碗倒在獸的座位上，獸的國就黑暗了。人因疼痛就咬自己的舌頭；
16:11 又因所受的疼痛，和生的瘡，就褻瀆天上的上帝，並不悔改所行的。
16:12 第六位天使把碗倒在幼發拉底大河上，河水就乾了，要給那從日出之地所來的眾王預備道路。
16:13 我又看見三個污穢的靈，好像青蛙，從龍口、獸口並假先知的口中出來。
16:14 他們本是鬼魔的靈，施行奇事，出去到普天下眾王那裡，叫他們在上帝全能者的大日聚集爭戰。
16:15 （看哪，我來像賊一樣。那警醒、看守衣服、免得赤身而行、叫人見他羞恥的有福了！）
16:16 那三個鬼魔便叫眾王聚集在一處，希伯來話叫作哈米吉多頓。
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the
sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were scorched by the
fierce heat, and they cursed the name of God who had power over these plagues.
They did not repent and give him glory.
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 anguish and cursed the God of heaven for their pain and sores.
They did not repent of their deeds.
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. And I saw, coming
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 unclean spirits like frogs. For they are
demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole
world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty. ("Behold,
I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his
garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!") And
they assembled them at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.

再一次看見人的硬心不悔改，讓人感到難受！但是上帝知道人的真正問題，透過這樣的警告，來喚醒人心，使人就願意悔改，不要像魔鬼抵擋上帝到底！
