Revelation 16:1-3

Expanded Bible

The Bowls of God’s Anger

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s ·anger [wrath] on the earth.”

² The first angel left and poured out his bowl on the land. Then ·ugly [foul] and painful sores [^Creminiscent of the sixth Egyptian plague; Ex. 9:9–11; Job 2] came upon all those who had the ·mark [brand] of the beast and who worshiped his ·idol [image].

³ The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood like that of a ·dead man [corpse; ^Creminiscent of the first Egyptian plague; Ex. 7:14–21; see also 8:8–9], and every living thing in the sea died.
