Revelation 16:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ They were ·burned [scorched] by the great heat, and they ·cursed [blasphemed] the name of God, who had ·control [authority; power] over these ·disasters [plagues]. But the people ·refused to change their hearts and lives [^Ldid not repent] and give ·glory [honor] to God.

¹⁰ The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and darkness covered its kingdom [8:12; ^Creminiscent of the ninth Egyptian plague; Ex. 10:21–29]. People ·gnawed [bit] their tongues because of the ·pain [agony]. ¹¹ They also cursed the God of heaven because of their pain and the sores they had, but they refused to ·change their hearts and turn away [repent] from ·the evil things they did [^Ltheir deeds].
