Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood. And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying,

“You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was,
    because you have sent these judgments.
Since they shed the blood
    of your holy people and your prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
    It is their just reward.”

And I heard a voice from the altar,[a] saying,

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

  1. 16:7 Greek I heard the altar.

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.”
