art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee, because
thy righteous judgments are made evident. (5)And after these things I
beheld, and, lo! the temple of the tabernacle of witness in heaven was
opened: (6)and the seven angels having the seven plagues came forth out
of the temple, clothed in linen white and shining, and girded about the
breasts with golden girdles. (7)And one of the four living beings gave
unto the seven angels seven golden vases full of the wrath of God, who
liveth for ever and ever. (8)And the temple was filled with smoke from
the glory of God, and from his power; and no person was able to enter
into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were
completely executed.

(8)And the fourth angel poured out his vase upon the sun; and there was
given to it a charge to burn men with fire. (9)And the men were
scorched with a fierce heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who
had power over these plagues: and they repented not, to give him glory.

(10)And the fifth angel poured out his vase upon the throne of the
beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness, and they gnawed their own
tongues from anguish, (11)and they blasphemed the God of heaven, in the
midst of their anguish, and of their ulcers, and repented not of their
