The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse, and every living thing died that was in the sea.

The third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of water, and they became blood. And I heard the angel in charge of the waters say,

“Just are you, O Holy One, who is and who was,

for you brought these judgments.

For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets,

and you have given them blood to drink.

It is what they deserve!”

And I heard the altar saying,

“Yes, Lord God the Almighty,

true and just are your judgments!”

true and just are your judgments.”

the blood of the saints and the prophets,

you have given them blood to drink;

they deserve it!

I heard the altar say,

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,

true and just are your judgments.

It is their just reward.”

“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,

your judgments are true and just.”
