The third angel poured out his bowl into (A)the rivers and the springs of water, and (B)they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters[a] say,

(C)“Just are you, (D)O Holy One, (E)who is and who was,
    for you brought these judgments.
For (F)they have shed the blood of (G)saints and prophets,
    and (H)you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”

And I heard (I)the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,
    (J)true and just are your judgments!”

  1. Revelation 16:5 Greek angel of the waters

The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. Then I heard the angel in charge[a] of the water say,

“You are just. You are the one who is
    and who was, the Holy One,
        because you have judged these things.
You have given them blood to drink
    because they spilled the blood of saints and prophets.
        This is what they deserve.”

Then I heard the altar reply,

“Yes, Lord God Almighty,
    your judgments are true and just.”
