Revelation 16:1–4

The Seven Bowls of the Wrath of God

16 And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out on the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.” And the first went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and there was an evil and painful sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

And the second poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood, like that of a dead person, and every living thing that was in the sea died.

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