\s5
|
|
\p
|
|

\q "You are righteous—the one who is and who was, the Holy One—
|
|
\q2 because you have judged these things.

\v 6 Because they poured out the blood of the believers and prophets,
|
|
\q2 you have given them blood to drink;
|
|
\q it is what they deserve."
|
|
\m
|
|
\v 7 I heard the altar reply,
|
|
\q "Yes, Lord God Almighty,
|
|
\q2 your judgments are true and righteous."
