Revelation 16:4-7
Wycliffe Bible
4 And the third angel shedded out his vial on the rivers, and on the wells of waters, [and blood is made]. [And the third angel shedded out his vial upon the floods, and upon the wells of waters, and blood is made.]
5 and said [And I heard the angel of waters, saying], Just art thou, Lord, that art, and that were holy [and that wast holy], that deemest these things;
6 for they shedded out the blood of hallows and prophets, and thou hast given to them blood to drink [and thou hast given them blood to drink]; for they be worthy.
7 And I heard another [angel] saying, Yea! Lord God almighty, true and just be thy dooms.

New Matthew Bible
4 And the third angel shed out his vial upon the rivers and springs of waters, and they turned to blood. 5 And I heard an angel say, Lord who is and who was, you are righteous and holy, because you have given such judgments. 6 For they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and therefore you have given them blood to drink, for they have deserved it.
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, It is so, Lord God Almighty; true and righteous are your judgments.

- Revelation 16:4 The history of the third Angel striking the rivers, in this verse who proclaiming the justice of God, commendeth the same by a most grave comparison of the sins of men with the punishment of God: which is common to this place and that which went before. Wherefore also this praising is attributed to the Angel of the waters, a name common to the second and third Angels according as both of them are said to be sent against the waters, albeit, the one of the sea the other of the rivers, in two verses.
- Revelation 16:7 A confirmation of the praise before going, out of the sanctuary of God, whether immediately by Christ, or by some of his Angels, for Christ also is called another Angel, Rev. 3:8; 7:2; 12:1.
