And men cursed God for the plague of hail, because it was so horrendous. | And great hail, every stone about the weight of a talent, cometh down out of heaven upon men: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof is exceeding great. |
In context
AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 16:17-21It is done
About Revelation 16A voice tells the seven angels, "pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth": sores fall on those with the mark of the beast, the sea and rivers become blood, the sun scorches men, and darkness covers the beast's kingdom, yet "they repented not to give him glory." The sixth vial dries up "the great river Euphrates" for "the kings of the east," and three unclean spirits "like frogs" gather the kings "into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon," while the Lord says, "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth." At the seventh vial a voice says, "It is done," a great earthquake strikes, and "great Babylon came in remembrance before God."
