The Bowls of God’s Wrath

16Then I heard a loud voice from the temple telling the seven angels, ‘Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.’

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 mark of the beast and who worshipped its image.

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.

4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. ⁵And I heard the angel of the waters say,
‘You are just, O Holy One, who are and were,
   for you have judged these things;
⁶ because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,
   you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!’
⁷And I heard the altar respond,
‘Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
   your judgements are true and just!’
