land tremble: for the day of The Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath
not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to
the years of many generations.

scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were
moved out of their places.

the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in
the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

come; and who shall be able to stand?

part of the ships were destroyed.

and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and

night likewise.

his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore
upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which
worshiped his image.

his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and
every living soul died in the sea.
4 And the third angel poured out his
vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
8 And the fourth angel poured out
his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men
with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great
heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these
plagues: and they repented not to give Him glory.
10 And the fifth angel poured out
his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of
darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11 And blasphemed the God of heaven
because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their
deeds.
12 And the sixth angel poured out
his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was

hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men

thereof was exceeding great.

those days shall be shortened.
