Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
015:004 Who shall not be afraid, O Lord, and glorify Thy name?
For Thou alone art holy. All nations shall come and shall
worship Thee, because the righteousness of all that Thou hast
done has been made manifest."
015:005 After this, when the doors of the sanctuary of the tent
of witness in Heaven were opened, I looked;
015:006 and there came out of the sanctuary the seven angels who were
bringing the seven plagues. The angels were clad in pure,
bright linen, and had girdles of gold across their breasts.
015:007 And one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels
seven bowls of gold, full of the anger of God who lives until
the Ages of the Ages.
015:008 And the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God
and from His power; and no one could enter the sanctuary till
the seven plagues brought by the seven angels were at an end.
016:001 Then I heard a loud voice from the sanctuary say to the
seven angels, "Go and pour on to the earth the seven bowls
of the anger of God."
016:002 So the first angel went away and poured his bowl on to the earth;
and it brought a bad and painful sore upon the men who had on
them the mark of the Wild Beast and worshipped his statue.
016:003 The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it
became blood, like a dead man's blood, and every living
creature in the sea died.
016:004 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and springs
of water, and they became blood.
016:005 And I heard the angel of the waters say, "Righteous art Thou,
who art and wast, the holy One, because Thou hast
thus taken vengeance.
016:006 For they poured out the blood of Thy people and of the Prophets,
and in return Thou hast given them blood to drink.
And this they deserved."
016:007 And I heard a voice from the altar say, "Even so, O Lord God,
the Ruler of all, true and righteous are Thy judgments."
016:008 Then the fourth angel poured his bowl on to the sun, and power
was given to it to scorch men with fire.
016:009 And the men were severely burned; and yet they spoke evil
of God who had power over the plagues, and they did not repent
so as to give Him glory.
016:010 The fifth angel poured his bowl on to the throne of the Wild Beast;
and his kingdom became darkened. People gnawed their tongues
because of the pain,
016:011 and they spoke evil of the God in Heaven because of their pains
and their sores, and did not repent of their misconduct.
016:012 The sixth angel poured his bowl into that great river,
the Euphrates; and its stream was dried up in order to clear
the way for the kings who are to come from the east.
