Revelation 16:8-9

16:8 Then ¹  the fourth angel ²  poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to scorch people ³  with fire. 16:9 Thus ⁴  people ⁵  were scorched by the terrible heat, ⁶  yet ⁷  they blasphemed the name of God, who has ruling authority ⁸  over these plagues, and they would not repent and give him glory.

[16:8]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:8]  ² tn Grk “the fourth”; the referent (the fourth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:8]  ³ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:9]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “thus” to indicate the implied result of the bowl poured on the sun.

[16:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “men,” but this is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") and refers to both men and women.

[16:9]  ⁶ 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.”

[16:9]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:9]  ⁸ tn For the translation “ruling authority” for ἐξουσία (exousia) see L&N 37.35.
