1. From the temple I heard a voice shout to the seven angels, “Go and empty the seven bowls of God's anger on the earth.”
2. The first angel emptied his bowl on the earth. At once ugly and painful sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshipped the idol.
3. The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. Straight away the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4. The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and streams. At once they turned to blood.
