Revelation 6:9-11

The Fifth Seal: Martyrs
9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw (A)underneath the (B)altar the (C)souls of those who had been killed (D)because of the word of God, and because of the (E)testimony which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(F)How long, O [a](G)Lord, (H)holy and true, [b]will You refrain from (I)judging and avenging our blood on (J)those who live on the earth?” 11 And a (K)white robe was given to each of them; and they were told that they were to (L)rest for a little while longer, (M)until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters who were to be killed even as they had been, was (N)completed also.

Revelation 6:9-11
New Living Translation
9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of all who had been martyred for the word of God and for being faithful in their testimony. 10 They shouted to the Lord and said, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you judge the people who belong to this world and avenge our blood for what they have done to us?” 11 Then a white robe was given to each of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until the full number of their brothers and sisters[a]—their fellow servants of Jesus who were to be martyred—had joined them.
