Majority Standard Bible

1 Then I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels with the seven final plagues, with which the wrath of God is completed.

2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, beside which stood those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name. They were holding harps from God,

3 and they sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and wonderful are Your works, O Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations!

4 Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

5 After this I looked, and the temple—the tabernacle of the Testimony—was opened in heaven.

6 And out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean and bright linen and girded with golden sashes around their chests.

7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

8 And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power; and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

KJV

1 ¶ And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.

2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, [and] over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous [are] thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true [are] thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for [thou] only [art] holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

5 ¶ And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:

6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.

7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials 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 man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

The fifth vision: of the seven last plagues and the believers' song of praise.

1 And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues: for with them the wrath of God is finished.

2 And he saw a sea of glass mingled with fire; and they that had the victory in the beast, and in his image, and in his mark, and in the number of his name, stood by the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

3 And they sang the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvelous are thy works, O LORD God Almighty: just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

4 Who shall not fear thee, O LORD, and praise thy name? For thou alone art holy. For all nations shall come and worship before thee: for thy judgments are revealed.

5 After these things I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 And out of the temple went the seven angels which had the seven plagues, clothed in clean linen, and girded in their breasts with golden girdles.

7 And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, which liveth for ever and ever.

8 And the temple was filled with smoke for the glory of God, and for his power: and no man could enter into the temple, until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
