15:1 Then ¹  I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues ²  (they are final because in them God’s anger is completed).

15:2 Then ³  I saw something like a sea of glass ⁴  mixed with fire, and those who had conquered ⁵  the beast and his image and the number of his name. They were standing ⁶  by ⁷  the sea of glass, holding harps given to them by God. ⁸  15:3 They ⁹  sang the song of Moses the servant ¹⁰  of God and the song of the Lamb: ¹¹ 

“Great and astounding are your deeds,

Lord God, the All-Powerful! ¹² 

Just ¹³  and true are your ways,

King over the nations! ¹⁴ 

15:4 Who will not fear you, O Lord,

and glorify ¹⁵  your name, because you alone are holy? ¹⁶ 

All nations ¹⁷  will come and worship before you

for your righteous acts ¹⁸  have been revealed.”

15:5 After ¹⁹  these things I looked, and the temple (the tent ²⁰  of the testimony) ²¹  was opened in heaven, 15:6 and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, dressed in clean bright linen, wearing wide golden belts ²²  around their chests. 15:7 Then ²³  one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath ²⁴  of God who lives forever and ever, 15:8 and the temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and from his power. Thus ²⁵  no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues from the seven angels were completed.
