Well you have "trumpet" and "vial" judgments that turn the earth's waters into blood and smite the earth with plagues, but what you read are the powers of the 2 witnesses aside from the trumpets and vials for it says
"as often as they will." Rev. 11:6
Whereas the trumpet and vial judgments are organized and numbered.

You might be imagining a problem where there isn't one.
There's a ";" after darkness. They're in pain from the previous plagues as is confirmed by v.11.
Moreover surely darkness that can be "felt" (see Exodus 10:21) exacerbates the pain in all sorts of ways.
This is supernatural darkness so we cannot decidedly conclude that it cannot inherently cause pain because natural darkness doesn't.
Don't worry, God wrote a perfect book. The errors are in our minds.

Those 6 days are akin to our 24 hour day.
What's interesting is the word used in the Hebrew is used to mean both day and age throughout Genesis. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that that's another factor to consider.

excuse me, but why the original KJV translation and not the original greek and hebrew as the perfect word of god?

I love dealing with verses and I'm glad you're putting 'em up there but if you can post them out of the KJV that would be great, and less confusing.
21 فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يُعَاقِبُ الرَّبُّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ السَّاقِطِينَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَالْمُلُوكَ الْمُتَغَطْرِسِينَ عَلَى الأَرْض
Yes sometimes the Bible does that, but we also have to keep in mind that things different are, well, different. A plague of boils is one thing (as in the Exodus) and scorpion-like stings from hellish creatures is another.
Paul taught Timothy that Bible 101 was to study differences:
2Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Very interesting research.
I'm always cautious not to let our limited understanding of the natural efface the supernatural element but I will definitely keep this stuff in mind.
Yes, the Bible is always years ahead of "science" at any given point.
Thanks for the information. If you have any such insight in the future, please let me know.
