4 The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and the springs of water. And they became blood.
5 Then I heard the angel of the waters say to God:“Holy One, you are the One who is and who was.You are right to decide to punish these evil people.
6 They have spilled the blood of your holy people and your prophets.Now you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”
7 And I heard the altar say:“Yes, Lord God All-Powerful,the way you punish evil people is right and fair.”
8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. The sun was given power to burn the people with fire.
9 They were burned by the great heat, and they cursed the name of God. God is the One who had control over these troubles. But the people refused to change their hearts and lives and give glory to God.
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast. And darkness covered the beast’s kingdom. People bit their tongues because of the pain.
