3 The second angel emptied his bowl on the sea. Straight away the sea turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.
4 The third angel emptied his bowl into the rivers and streams. At once they turned to blood.
5 Then I heard the angel, who has power over water, say,“You have always been,and you always will bethe holy God.You had the rightto judge in this way.
6 They poured out the bloodof your peopleand your prophets.So you gave them bloodto drink, as they deserve!”
7 After this, I heardthe altar shout,“Yes, Lord God All-Powerful,your judgments are honestand fair.”
8 The fourth angel emptied his bowl on the sun, and it began to scorch people like fire.
9 Everyone was scorched by its great heat, and all of them cursed the name of God who had power over these terrible troubles. But no one turned to God and praised him.
