Revelation 16

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 16 of 22

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels: Go and pour out the bowls of the anger of God onto the earth.

2 And the first went away and poured out his bowl onto the earth. And it came to be a bad and evil sore on the men, the ones having the mark of the beast, and the ones worshiping its image.

3 And the second angel poured out his bowl onto the seas; and it became blood, as of a dead one, and every soul of life died in the sea.
