1. I heard a loud voice speaking from the temple to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s fury upon the earth.”
2. The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth. Festering and ugly sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast or worshiped its image.
3. The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. The sea turned to blood like that from a corpse; every creature living in the sea died.
4. The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water. These also turned to blood.
5. Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:“You are just, O Holy One,who are and who were,in passing this sentence.
6. For they have shed the blood of the holy ones and the prophets,and you [have] given them blood to drink;it is what they deserve.”
7. Then I heard the altar cry out,“Yes, Lord God almighty,your judgments are true and just.”
8. The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. It was given the power to burn people with fire.
