For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 16 of Revelation. The second bowl turns the sea into blood like that of a dead person, and every living creature in it dies. The third bowl turns the rivers and springs into blood. The angel declares this judgment just because those who shed the blood of saints and prophets are given blood to drink. The altar confirms God’s justice. The scene does not present judgment as arbitrary, but as a moral response to the shedding of innocent blood.

denn sie haben das Blut der Heiligen und Propheten vergossen, und Blut hast du ihnen zu trinken gegeben; denn sie sind's wert.
Porque ellos derramaron la sangre de los santos y de los profetas, también tú les has dado a beber sangre; pues lo merecen.
Porque ellos derramaron sangre de santos y profetas, y tú les has dado a beber sangre. Lo merecen».
Car ils ont versé le sang des saints et des prophètes, et tu leur as donné du sang à boire: ils en sont dignes.
Poichè essi hanno sparso il sangue de’ santi, e de’ profeti, tu hai loro altresì dato a bere del sangue; perciocchè ben ne son degni.
Visto como derramaram o sangue dos santos e dos profetas, também tu lhes deste o sangue a beber; porque disto são merecedores.
因他們曾流過聖徒與先知的血, 現在你給他們血喝, 這是他們該受的。」
