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
Revised Standard Version
9 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne; 10 they cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell upon the earth?” 11 Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.
