5 Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say:

“You are just in these judgments, O Holy One,

you who are and who were;

6 for they have shed the blood of your holy people and your prophets,

and you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. 6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

5 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.

6 Since they shed the blood

of your holy people and your prophets,

you have given them blood to drink.

It is their just reward.”

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“You are righteous, O Lord,

The One who is and who was and who is to be,

Because You have judged these things.

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

And You have given them blood to drink.

For it is their just due.”

5 Then I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“Holy One, you are the One who is and who was.

You are right to decide to punish these evil people.

6 They have poured out the blood of your holy people and your prophets.

So now you have given them blood to drink as they deserve.”

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Righteous art thou, who art and who wast, thou Holy One, because thou didst thus judge: 6 for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, Thou art righteous, who art and wast, the holy one, that thou hast judged so; 6 for they have poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; they are worthy.

5 Then I heard the angel of the water say, 

“You are fair. 

You are the one who is and the one who was, the holy one, 

because you have judged these things. 

6 You have given them blood to drink 

because they have poured out 

the blood of God’s people and prophets. 

This is what they deserve.” 

5 I heard the angel of the waters say:

You are righteous,

who is and who was, the Holy One,

for You have decided these things.

6 Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets,

You also gave them blood to drink;

they deserve it!

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;

6 because they shed the blood of saints and prophets,

you have given them blood to drink.

It is what they deserve!”

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying,

“You are righteous, the one who is and the one who was, the Holy One,

because you have judged these things,

6 because they have poured out the blood of the saints and prophets,

and you have given them blood to drink;

they are deserving!”

5 Then I heard the angel who was in charge of the waters. He said,

“The way you judge is fair.

You are the Holy One.

You are the One who is and who was.

6 The beast’s worshipers have poured out the life’s blood of your people and your prophets.

So you have given those worshipers blood to drink.

That’s exactly what they should get.”

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “Righteous are You, who are and who were, O Holy One, because You judged these things;

6 for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it.”
