Revelation 6:9-17 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of God's message and because of the testimony which they had borne. ¹⁰ They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Ruler holy and true, wilt thou delay to judge and take vengeance for our blood upon those who dwell on the earth?" ¹¹ To each of them a white robe was given, and it was said to them that they must wait quietly yet a little while until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren was complete, who were yet to be killed as they had been. ¹² I saw when he opened the sixth seal and there came a great earthquake and the sun became black, like sackcloth of hair, and the moon became all like blood ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell to the ground, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind, ¹⁴ and the sky passed away like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. ¹⁵ Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and freeman hid themselves in the caves and the rocks of the mountains ¹⁶ and said to the mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷ for the day, the great day, of their wrath has come and who can stand?"
