Revelation 16:4-7
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the (A)rivers and the springs of waters, and they (B)became blood. 5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “(C)Righteous are You, (D)who is and who was, O (E)Holy One, because You (F)judged these things; 6 for they poured out (G)the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them (H)blood to drink. They [a]deserve it.” 7 And I heard (I)the altar saying, “Yes, O [b](J)Lord God, the Almighty, (K)true and righteous are Your judgments.”

Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood
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.”
7 And I heard [d]another from the altar saying, “Even so, (H)Lord God Almighty, (I)true and righteous are Your judgments.”
