“And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.”
The name of the star is Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters, because they had become bitter — Wormwood (Exodus 15:23, bitter waters of Marah; Jeremiah 9:15, 23:15, divine judgment) contaminates the waters, making them undrinkable and poisonous. Bitterness symbolizes judgment and curse; the destruction of fresh water threatens survival.
