⁵ And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time:

¹⁷ We give you praise, O Lord God, Ruler of all, who is and who was; because you have taken up your great power and are ruling your kingdom.

⁴ John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

³ And they give the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and full of wonder are your works, O Lord God, Ruler of all; true and full of righteousness are your ways, eternal King.

⁴ What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

⁸ And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come.

⁸ I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.

² For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

⁷ And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.

⁴ And the third let what was in his vessel come out into the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.

⁵ Which is a clear sign of the decision which God in his righteousness has made; to give you a part in his kingdom, for which you have undergone this pain;

⁶ For it is an act of righteousness on God's part to give trouble as their reward to those who are troubling you,

⁵ But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

⁵ But by your hard and unchanged heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of the revelation of God's judging in righteousness;

²⁵ Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

¹⁴ So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.

¹⁸ The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.

¹⁷ The Lord is upright in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

⁴ The Lord is true: the cords of the evil-doers are broken in two.

²⁵ Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?
