Revelation 6:9-11
Revised Geneva Translation
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw, under the altar, the souls of those who were killed for the word of God, and for the testimony which they maintained.
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, Lord - Who are holy and true - do You not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
11 And long white robes were given to everyone. And it was said to them that they should rest for a little season until their fellow servants, and their brothers who would be killed just as they were, were fulfilled.
