16 Then He who sat on the cloud [a]swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

17 And another angel (A)came out of the [b]temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle. 18 Then another angel, (B)the one who has power over fire, came out from (C)the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “[c](D)Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters [d]from the vine of the earth, (E)because her grapes are ripe.” 19 So the angel [e]swung his sickle to the earth and gathered the clusters from the vine of the earth, and threw them into (F)the great wine press of the wrath of God. 20 And (G)the wine press was trampled (H)outside the city, and (I)blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses’ bridles, [f]for a distance of [g]1,600 stadia.

16 So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

17 Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle.(A) 18 Still another angel, who had charge of the fire, came from the altar(B) and called in a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Take your sharp sickle(C) and gather the clusters of grapes from the earth’s vine, because its grapes are ripe.” 19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath.(D) 20 They were trampled in the winepress(E) outside the city,(F) and blood(G) flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.[a]
