The Fifth Seal

⁹ When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the people^[a] slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had.^{[b](A) 10} They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord,^[c] the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?” ¹¹ So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow slaves and their brothers, who were going to be killed just as they had been.
