³ The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and ^(A)it became like the blood of a corpse, and ^(B)every living thing died that was in the sea.

⁸ The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ^(A)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^(B)became blood. ⁹ A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of ^(C)the ships were destroyed.

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord, “By this ^(A)you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and ^(B)it shall turn into blood. ¹⁸ The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will ^(C)grow weary of drinking water from the Nile.”’” ¹⁹ And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and ^(D)stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”

²⁰ Moses and Aaron did as the Lord commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he ^(E)lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the ^(F)water in the Nile turned into blood. ²¹ And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians ^(G)could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

⁶ They have the power ^(A)to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and ^(B)to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire.

^2 (A)He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

^38 (A)And I will judge you ^(B)as women who commit adultery and ^(C)shed blood are judged, and bring upon you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

²² Everything on the dry land ^(A)in whose nostrils was the breath of life died.

The First Beast

13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, ^(A)with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and ^(B)blasphemous names on its heads.
