⁵ The seven angels who carried the seven troubles came out of the temple. They were wearing linen clothes, clean and shining. Around their chests they wore gold belts.

⁶ One of the four living beings gave the angels seven gold bowls. The bowls were full of the anger of God who lives for ever and ever.

⁷ The temple was full of smoke because God is so great and has so much power. No one could go into the temple until the seven troubles, which the seven angels had, were ended.
