Went and poured out (aphlqen kai ecexeen). Second aorist active indicative of aperxomai (redundant use like upagete with ekxeete, "go and pour out," in verse Revelation 16:1) and of ekxew. Each angel "went off" to perform his task. For ecexeen see it repeated in verses Revelation 16:3-4, Revelation 16:8, Revelation 16:10, Revelation 16:12, Revelation 16:17.
Into the earth (eiv thn ghn). This same use of eiv after ecexeen in verses Revelation 16:3-4.
It became (egeneto). "There came" (second aorist middle indicative of ginomai).
A noisome and grievous sore (elkov kakon kai ponhron). "Bad and malignant sore." elkov is old word for a suppurated wound (Latin ulcus), here, verse Revelation 16:11; Luke 16:21. See the sixth Egyptian plague (Exodus 9:10; Deuteronomy 28:27, Deuteronomy 28:35) and Job 2:7. The magicians were attacked in Egypt and the worshippers of Caesar here (Revelation 13:17; Revelation 14:9, Revelation 14:11; Revelation 19:20).
