Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
16 1 And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour-out the seven bowls of the fury of God into the earth”.
2 And the first went and poured out his bowl into the land[a]— and a bad and evil sore came upon the people having the mark of the beast and the ones giving worship to his image.
3 And the second poured out his bowl into the sea— and it became blood like of a dead man. And every soul of life died— the things in the sea.
4 And the third poured-out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters— and it[b] became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “You are righteous[c], the One Who is and Who was[d], the holy One, because You judged these things. 6 Because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They are worthy[e] of it ”. 7 And I heard a voice from the altar saying, “Yes, Lord God Almighty, Your judgments are true and righteous”.
