Rev. 16:1‑21• 1And I heard a great voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, Go and pour out the seven bowls of the fury of God upon the earth.
 2And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and there came an evil and grievous sore upon the men that had the mark of the beast, and those who worshipped its image.
 3And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it became blood, as of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea.
 4And the third poured out his bowl on the rivers, and on the fountains of waters; and they became blood.
 5And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast judged so;
 6for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy.
 7And I heard the altar saying, Yea, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

 9And the men were burnt with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and did not repent to give him glory.
 10And the fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast; and its kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues with distress,
 11and blasphemed the God of the heaven for their distresses and their sores, and did not repent of their works.

 13And I saw out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as frogs;
 14for they are the spirits of demons, doing signs; which go out to the kings of the whole habitable world to gather them together to the war of that great day of God the Almighty.
 15(Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keeps his garments, that he may not walk naked, and that they may not see his shame.)

a
In the word eilēphen (take) here as in 5:7 one may be slow to believe that the perfect does not involve a continuance which the aorist does not express; but it is hard to say more than "took" as the KJV and RV.
b
"The" fire is right.
c
The order of the words at the end is not certain.
