Revelation

Revelation 16:5–7

⁵And I heard the angel of the waters say:

“Righteous are You, O Holy One,

who is and was,

because You have brought these judgments.

⁶For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets,

and You have given them blood to drink,

as they deserve.”

⁷And I heard the altar reply:

“Yes, Lord God Almighty,

true and just are Your judgments.”
