Third Bowl: The Waters Turn to Blood

Then the third angel poured out his bowl (A)on the rivers and springs of water, (B)and they became blood. 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.
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.”

And I heard [d]another from the altar saying, “Even so, (H)Lord God Almighty, (I)true and righteous are Your judgments.”
