Revelation 6:9–11

The Fifth Seal—Martyrs

9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw aunderneath the baltar the csouls of those who had been slain dbecause of the word of God, and because of the etestimony which they had maintained;

10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “aHow long, O 1 bLord, choly and true, 2will You refrain from djudging and avenging our blood on ethose who dwell on the earth?”

11 And athere was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should brest for a little while longer, cuntil the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be dcompleted also.
