9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
1Væ terræ cymbalo alarum, quæ est trans flumina Æthiopiæ,
2 qui mittit in mare legatos, et in vasis papyri super aquas. Ite, angeli veloces, ad gentem convulsam et dilaceratam ; ad populum terribilem, post quem non est alius ; ad gentem exspectantem et conculcatam, cujus diripuerunt flumina terram ejus.
3 Omnes habitatores orbis, qui moramini in terra, cum elevatum fuerit signum in montibus, videbitis, et clangorem tubæ audietis.
4 Quia hæc dicit Dominus ad me : Quiescam et considerabo in loco meo, sicut meridiana lux clara est, et sicut nubes roris in die messis.
5 Ante messem enim totus effloruit, et immatura perfectio germinabit ; et præcidentur ramusculi ejus falcibus, et quæ derelicta fuerint abscindentur et excutientur.
6 Et relinquentur simul avibus montium et bestiis terræ ; et æstate perpetua erunt super eum volucres, et omnes bestiæ terræ super illum hiemabunt.
7 In tempore illo deferetur munus Domino exercituum a populo divulso et dilacerato, a populo terribili, post quem non fuit alius ; a gente exspectante, exspectante et conculcata, cujus diripuerunt flumina terram ejus ; ad locum nominis Domini exercituum, montem Sion.
