Greek Commentary for Revelation 16:3
Like the first Egyptian plague (Exodus 7:12 -41) though only the Nile affected then. [source]
At the trumpet (Revelation 8:11) the water becomes wormwood. Here ως νεκρου hōs nekrou is added to Exodus 7:14-24, “the picture of a murdered man weltering in his blood” (Swete). “Coagulated blood, fatal to animal life” (Moffatt).Every living soul (πασα πσυχη ζωης pāsa psuchē zōēs). “Every soul of life” (Hebraism, Genesis 1:21, marked by life).Even the things that were in the sea “The things in the sea,” in apposition with πσυχη psuchē Complete destruction, not partial as in Revelation 8:9. [source]

Reverse Greek Commentary Search for Revelation 16:3
See on Mark 12:30; see on Luke 1:46. The soul ( ψυχή ) is the principle of individuality, the seat of personal impressions. It has a side in contact with both the material and the spiritual element of humanity, and is thus the mediating organ between body and spirit. Its meaning, therefore, constantly rises above life or the living individual, and takes color from its relation to either the emotional or the spiritual side of life, from the fact of its being the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions, and the bearer and manifester of the divine life-principle ( πνεῦμα ). Consequently ψυχή is often used in our sense of heart (Luke 1:46; Luke 2:35; John 10:24; Acts 14:2); and the meanings of ψυχή souland πνεῦμα spiritoccasionally approach each other very closely. Compare John 12:27, and John 11:33; Matthew 11:29, and 1 Corinthians 16:18. Also both words in Luke 1:47. In this passage ψυχή soulexpresses the soul regarded as moral being designed for everlasting life. See Hebrews 6:19; Hebrews 10:39; Hebrews 13:17; 1 Peter 2:11; 1 Peter 4:19. John commonly uses the word to denote the principle of the natural life. See John 10:11, John 10:15; John 13:37; John 15:13; 1 John 3:16; Revelation 8:9; Revelation 12:11; Revelation 16:3. [source]
Second aorist active indicative of απερχομαι aperchomai (redundant use like υπαγετε hupagete with εκχεετε ekcheete “go and pour out,” in Revelation 16:1) and of εκχεω ekcheō Each angel “went off” to perform his task. For εχεχεεν execheen see it repeated in Revelation 16:3, Revelation 16:4, Revelation 16:8, Revelation 16:10, Revelation 16:12, Revelation 16:17. [source]
This same use of εις eis after εχεχεεν execheen in Revelation 16:3, Revelation 16:4.It became (εγενετο egeneto). “There came” (second aorist middle indicative of γινομαι ginomai).A noisome and grievous sore “Bad and malignant sore.” ελκος Helkos is old word for a suppurated wound (Latin ulcus), here, 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). [source]
Not εις eis (into) as in Revelation 16:2, Revelation 16:3, Revelation 16:4. The fourth trumpet (Revelation 8:12) affected a third of the sun, moon, and stars with a plague of darkness, but here it is a plague of extreme heat. [source]
All men breathe the air and this is worse than the smiting of the earth (Revelation 16:2), the sea (Revelation 16:3), the fresh waters (Revelation 16:4), the sun (Revelation 16:8). [source]
Present middle participle of καιω kaiō Somewhat like Enoch 18:13, but perhaps with the picture of a great volcanic eruption like that of Vesuvius in a.d. 79.
