9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw (A)underneath the (B)altar the (C)souls of those who had been slain (D)because of the word of God, and because of the (E)witness which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “(F)How long, O (G)Master, (H)holy and true? [a]Will You not (I)judge and avenge our blood on (J)those who dwell on the earth?” 11 And (K)a white robe was given to each of them; and it was told to them that they should (L)rest for a little while longer, (M)until the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were to be killed even as they had been, would be (N)completed also.

The Fifth Seal: The Souls Under the Altar
9 When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, under the incense altar I saw the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had maintained. 10 And they called out with a loud voice, saying, “O Lord, holy and true, how long until you judge and exact justice for our blood from those who live on the earth?” 11 A white robe was given to each one of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until their number would be complete, when their fellow servants and their brothers[a] would be put to death as they were.
