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;

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

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

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I heard the angel of the waters say,

You are just,

the Holy One, who is and who was,

because you have passed judgment on these things.

Because they poured out

the blood of the saints and the prophets,

you have given them blood to drink;

they deserve it!

NLTNew Living Translation

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.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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,

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

and you have given them blood to drink;

they are deserving!”

KJV 1900King James Version

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. For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
