Revelation 16:5

16:5 Now¹ I heard the angel of the waters saying:

“You are just² – the one who is and who was,

the Holy One – because you have passed these judgments,³

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the remarks that follow.

²tn Or “righteous,” although the context favors justice as the theme.

³tn Or “because you have judged these things.” The pronoun ταῦτα (tauta) is neuter gender.
