Revelation 16:9

16:9 Thus ¹  people ²  were scorched by the terrible heat, ³  yet ⁴  they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority ⁵  over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

² tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

³ tn On this phrase BDAG 536 s.v. καῦμα states, “burning, heat Rv 7:16…καυματίζεσθαι κ. μέγα be burned with a scorching heat 16:9.”

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

⁵ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
