16:7 I heard a voice from the altar: The antiphonal response to the angel’s proclamation (16:5-6) affirms God’s authority and justice. This doxology in the midst of judgment reminds persecuted Christians that God truly cares about his suffering servants and fulfills his own purpose in everything.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
ἤκουσα τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου λέγοντος
˱I˲_heard ˱of˲_the altar saying
John is describing the altar as a living thing that can speak. As the General Introduction to Revelation discusses, within the world of this vision, this is not a figure of speech and so you can translate it literally even if your language does not use figures of speech.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
ἀληθιναὶ καὶ δίκαιαι
true and righteous_‹are›
The terms true and righteous mean similar things. The altar is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “entirely righteous”
