Revelation 16:4

Read in context

Revelation 16:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and loathsome, malignant sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned to blood like that of the dead, and every living thing in the sea died.

4 And the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say: “Righteous are You, O Holy One, who is and was, because You have brought these judgments.

6 For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”
