16 And I heard a great voice from heaven, saying to the seven angels, Go ye, and shed out the seven vials of God's wrath into the earth.

² And the first angel went, and shedded out his vial into the earth; and a wound fierce and worst was made on all that had the character of the beast [and a wound fierce and worst was made on all that had the character, or mark, of the beast], and on them that worshipped the beast, and his image.

³ And the second angel shedded out his vial into the sea, and the blood was made, as of a dead thing; and each man living [and each soul living] was dead in the sea.
