Revelation 16:9-11

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁹ People were burned because the sun was so hot. And they spoke wrongly about the name of God, cursing him because he had the power to send these troubles. But they would not stop the wrong things they were doing. They would not respect and honour God.

¹⁰ The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast. The place where he ruled became dark. People bit their tongues because of the pain they had.

¹¹ They cursed God in heaven because of their pain and sores. But they did not stop the wrong things they were doing. They would not turn back to God.
