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.”
7. And I heard the altar respond: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are your judgments.”
8. The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire.
9. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
10. The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. People gnawed their tongues in agony
11. and cursed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, but they refused to repent of what they had done.
