Revelation 2:22

2:22 Look! I am throwing her onto a bed of violent illness, and those who commit adultery with her into terrible suffering, unless they repent of her deeds.

Revelation 16:1

The Bowls of God’s Wrath

16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple declaring to the seven angels: “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”


tn Grk “onto a bed,” in this context an idiom for severe illness (L&N 23.152).

tn Or “into great distress.” The suffering here is not specified as physical or emotional, and could involve persecution.

tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

tn Or “anger.” Here τοῦ θυμοῦ (tou qumou) has been translated as a genitive of content.
