And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 16 of Revelation. The second bowl turns the sea into blood like that of a dead person, and every living creature in it dies. The third bowl turns the rivers and springs into blood. The angel declares this judgment just because those who shed the blood of saints and prophets are given blood to drink. The altar confirms God’s justice. The scene does not present judgment as arbitrary, but as a moral response to the shedding of innocent blood.

Und der andere Engel goß aus seine Schale ins Meer; und es ward Blut wie eines Toten, und alle lebendigen Seelen starben in dem Meer.
Y el segundo ángel derramó su copa sobre el mar, y se convirtió en sangre como de un muerto; y toda alma viviente fue muerta en el mar.
El segundo derramó su copa en el mar, y este se convirtió en sangre como de un muerto. Murió todo ser viviente que había en el mar.
Le second versa sa coupe dans la mer. Et elle devint du sang, comme celui d'un mort; et tout être vivant mourut, tout ce qui était dans la mer.
Poi, il secondo angelo versò la sua coppa nel mare; ed esso divenne sangue, come di corpo morto; ed ogni anima vivente morì nel mare.
E o segundo anjo derramou a sua taça no mar, que se tornou em sangue como de um morto, e morreu no mar toda a alma vivente.
第二位天使把碗傾倒在海裏,海就變成像死人的血一樣,海裏所有的活物都死了。
