The Third Bowl

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

You are righteous,
who is and who was,(B) the Holy One,
for You have decided these things.
Because they poured out
the blood of the saints and the prophets,

Then I heard someone from the altar say:

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,
true and righteous are Your judgments.(D)

because they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets,

they are deserving!”

And I heard the altar saying,

    true and righteous are your judgments.”
