15. Another angel came out of the temple. He cried out in a loud voice to the one who sat on the cloud, “Swing your sickle, and gather the harvest. The time has come to gather it, because the harvest on the earth is overripe.”
16. The one who sat on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the harvesting of the earth was completed.
17. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven. He, too, had a sharp sickle.
18. Yet another angel came from the altar with authority over fire. This angel called out in a loud voice to the angel with the sharp sickle, “Swing your sickle, and gather the bunches of grapes from the vine of the earth, because those grapes are ripe.”
