1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath.”

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 shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
6For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”
