Revelation 16:4-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood.(A) 5 And I heard the angel of the waters say,
“You are just, O Holy One, who are and were,
for you have judged these things;(B)
6 because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
It is what they deserve!”
7 And I heard the altar respond,
“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
your judgments are true and just!”(C)
Revelation 16:4-7
International Standard Version
4 The third angel poured his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they turned into blood. 5 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.
6 You have given them blood to drink
because they spilled the blood of saints and prophets.
This is what they deserve.”
7 Then I heard the altar reply,
“Yes, Lord God Almighty,
your judgments are true and just.”
