2 [15:5]And after this I saw, and the temple of the tabernacle of the
testimony was opened in heaven, [the inner temple], [15:6]and the seven
angels went out who have the last seven plagues, clothed with pure
bright linen, and girded about the breasts with golden girdles.
[15:7]And one of the four cherubs gave the seven angels seven golden
bowls full of the wrath of the God who lives forever and ever.
[15:8]And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and
from his power, and no one could enter into the temple till the seven
plagues of the seven angels were finished.
3 [16:1]And I heard a loud voice saying to the seven angels, Go, pour
out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth. [16:2]And the
