The F.O.G Message *

[2] The first messenger stepped forward and poured out his bowl onto the land. Immediately, painful and malignant sores erupted on those who had aligned themselves with the beast's system and worshiped its image—their external afflictions reflecting their internal corruption.

Young's Literal Translation

and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon the land, and there came a sore—bad and grievous—to men, those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his image.
