1
Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth."
2
So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.
3
Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.
4
Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.
5
And I heard the angel of the waters saying: "You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things.
6
For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due."
7
And I heard another from the altar saying, "Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."
8
Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.
9
And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.
