(E)Her smoke rises up forever and ever!” 4 And (F)the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sat on the throne, saying, (G)“Amen! Alleluia!” 5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, (H)“Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, (I)both[c] small and great!”

4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl (A)on the rivers and springs of water, (B)and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:
(C)“You are righteous, [a]O Lord,
The One (D)who is and who [b]was and who is to be,
Because You have judged these things.
6 For (E)they have shed the blood (F)of saints and prophets,
(G)And You have given them blood to drink.
[c]For it is their just due.”

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments
15 Then (A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: (B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, (C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

(K)“Great and marvelous are Your works,
Lord God Almighty!
(L)Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the [b]saints!
4 (M)Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?
For You alone are (N)holy.
For (O)all nations shall come and worship before You,
For Your judgments have been manifested.”
