2 The first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and severely painful soresn broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped its image.

THE SECOND BOWL

3 The secondD poured out his bowl into the sea. It turned to blood like that of a dead person, and all life in the sea died.o

THE THIRD BOWL

4 The thirdD poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.p 5 I heard the angel of the waters say,

You are just,

the Holy One,q who is and who was,r

because you have passed judgment on these things.

6 Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets,s

you have given them blood to drink;

they deserve it!t

7 I heard the altar say,

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,

true and just are your judgments.u

THE FOURTH BOWL

8 The fourthD poured out his bowl on the sun. It was allowed to scorch people with fire, 9 and people were scorched by the intense heat. So they blasphemed the name of God,v who has the powerE over these plagues, and they did not repent and give him glory.w
