“And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.”
A third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed — the consequences are catastrophic: a third of the sea turns to blood (Exodus 7:17-21 echoed), destroying marine life (creatures, ships). The repetition of the third fraction emphasizes proportional, measured judgment affecting the entire created order.
