Revelation 16:2-11

2So the first went and poured out his bowl upon the earth, and a foul and loathsome sore came upon the men who had the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image.

3Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died.

4Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

5And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One who is and who was and who is to be, Because You have judged these things.

6For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.”

7And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.”

8Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire.

9And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.

10Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.

11They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.
