1 (NIV) Then I heard a
loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels,
"Go, pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath on the
earth." 2 The first angel
went and poured out his bowl on the
land, and ugly and painful sores broke out on the
people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his
image. 3 The second angel poured out his bowl on the
sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead man,
and every living thing in the sea died. 4 The third angel poured out his bowl
on the rivers and springs of water, and
they became blood.
