blood to drink; for they are worthy. 7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, 11 LORD GOD ALMIGHTY , true and righteous are 12 THY judgments. Fourth Vial (The sun to scorch the unsaved) 8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. 9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. Fifth Vial (Total darkness) 10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the 13 seat of the beast; and his king- domwas full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

P 15 Behold, 19 I come as a THIEF . Blessed is he that watcheth, and 20 keepeth his gar- ments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

Second Vial (The rest of sea life dies) 3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became 9 as the blood of a dead man : and every living soul died in the sea. Third Vial (The rest of fresh water is contaminated) 4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O LORD , 10 which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them
