Revelation 16:2-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and a foul and painful sore came on those who had the brand of the beast and who worshiped its image.(A)
3 The second angel poured his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing in the sea died.(B)
4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.(C) 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say,
“You are just, O Holy One, who are and were,
for you have judged these things;(D)
6 because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard the altar respond,
“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
your judgments are true and just!”(E)
8 The fourth angel poured his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to scorch people with fire; 9 they were scorched by the fierce heat, but they cursed the name of God, who had authority over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.(F)
10 The fifth angel poured his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness; people gnawed their tongues in agony(G)
