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;

¹⁸ Then another angel, ^(A)the one who has power over fire, came out from ^(B)the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “^[a](C)Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters ^[b]from the vine of the earth, ^(D)because her grapes are ripe.”
