New International Reader's Version

Revelation 16:3-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. It turned into blood like the blood of a dead person. Every living thing in the sea died.

4. The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and on the springs of water. They became blood.

5. Then I heard the angel who was in charge of the waters. He said, "The way you judge is fair. You are the Holy One. You are the One who is and who was.

6. The beast's worshipers have poured out the life's blood of your people and your prophets. So you have given those worshipers blood to drink. That's exactly what they should get."

7. Then I heard the altar reply, "Lord God who rules over all, the way you judge is true and fair."

8. The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.
