And the second poured out his bowl on the sea; and it becamei blood, as of a dead man; and every living soulk died in the sea.

JND Translation Notes

i
Or "there was blood." Ginomai. see John 1.17. Strictly "and there was," or "came to be," "blood." But I apprehend "it" (ver. 3) and "they" (ver. 4) are the sense, in spite of accuracy of grammar. blood took place as a consequence in what is spoken of. The sense is more striking as it stands in Greek considered as a vision. What he saw took that character.
k
Lit. "every soul of life." a Hebraism.
