Revelation 16:4 in context

The verses around it, from Revelation 16.

1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out on the earth the seven bowls of God’s wrath.”

2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth, and loathsome, malignant sores broke out on those who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

3 And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it turned to blood like that of the dead, and every living thing in the sea died.

4 And the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say: “Righteous are You, O Holy One, who is and was, because You have brought these judgments.

6 For they have spilled the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink, as they deserve.”

7 And I heard the altar reply: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and just are Your judgments.”

8 Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was given power to scorch the people with fire.
