Revelation 16:5-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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."

7. Then I heard the altar reply, "Lord God who rules over all, the way you judge is true and fair."

8. The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun. The sun was allowed to burn people with fire.

9. They were burned by the blazing heat. So they spoke evil things against the name of God, who controlled these plagues. But they refused to turn away from their sins. They did not give glory to God.
