[Three] "Pour out Third Bowl on the rivers and all the springs," Every living stream creature has died.
[Four] "Pour out Fourth Bowl," Sun does burn with great heat.
[Five] Angel poured bowl, Darkness fell over the kingdoms of all the Earth.
[Six] Sixth Angel poured the bowl out, Great Euphrates River dried all up,
    spirit frogs go out to all of the kings.
[Seven] Flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and terrible earthquakes.
