Revelation 16:2-11

2The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land. As a result, very bad and painful sores appeared on people's skin. Everyone who had the wild animal's mark on them and who worshipped the animal's image had those sores.

3Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea. As a result, the sea became like the blood of a dead person. Everything that was living in the sea then died.

4Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and on the springs of water. As a result, all the water became blood.

5Then I heard the voice of the angel who had authority over the waters. He said to God, ‘Holy One, you are alive now and you always have been alive. You are right in everything that you decide. Now you have judged these people.

6They have killed your people and your prophets. They have caused your servants to bleed and to die. So now you have given these bad people blood to drink. That is what ought to happen to them. It is right.’

7Then I heard a voice from the altar in heaven. It said, ‘Yes, Lord God, you have all authority. When you judge people, it is the punishment that they deserve.’

8Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. God gave authority to the sun so that it burned people with fire.

9The strong heat burned people and it hurt them very much. As a result, they said bad things against God's name, because he had the power to cause these terrible troubles. But they refused to change how they lived. They refused to agree that God is great.

10Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the wild animal. As a result, the whole kingdom that the wild animal ruled became dark. People were biting their tongues because of their great pain.

11They cursed the God of heaven because of their pain and because of the sores on their skin. But they did not stop doing bad things.
