¹⁷ Thus says Yahweh, “^(A)By this you shall know that I am Yahweh: behold, I am about to strike ^[a]the water that is in the Nile with the staff that is in my hand, and ^(B)it will be turned to blood. ^18 (C)And the fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will ^[b]become foul, and the Egyptians will ^(D)be weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’” ¹⁹ Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and ^(E)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their ^[c]streams, and over their pools and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

²⁰ So Moses and Aaron did thus, as Yahweh had commanded. And he raised up ^[d](F)the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and ^(G)all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood. ²¹ And the fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile ^[e]became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.

⁸ And the second angel sounded, and something like a great ^(A)mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and ^(B)a third of the ^(C)sea became blood, ⁹ and ^(D)a third of the creatures which were in the sea—those which had life—died; and a third of the ^(E)ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and a great star ^(F)fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a ^(G)third of the rivers and on the ^(H)springs of waters. ¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood; and a ^(I)third of the waters became ^(J)wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and a ^(K)third of the ^(L)sun and a third of the ^(M)moon and a ^(N)third of the ^(O)stars were struck, so that a ^(P)third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a ^(Q)third of it, and the night in the same way.

¹³ Then I looked, and I heard ^[a]an eagle flying in ^(R)midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “^(S)Woe, woe, woe to ^(T)those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the ^(U)three angels who are about to sound!”

⁶ These have the authority to ^(A)shut up the sky, so that rain will not fall during ^(B)the days of their prophesying; they also have authority over the waters to ^(C)turn them into blood, and ^(D)to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they wish.
