These have the power to shut the heaven, that it rain not during the days of their prophecy: and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to smite the earth with every plague, as often as they shall desire.
Þese han power to close heuene, þat it reyne not in þe daies of her prophesie; and þei han power on watris, to turne hem in to blood; and to smyte þe erþe with euery plage, and as ofte as þei wolen.
