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.
1Omnis namque pontifex ex hominibus assumptus, pro hominibus constituitur in iis quæ sunt ad Deum, ut offerat dona, et sacrificia pro peccatis :
2qui condolere possit iis qui ignorant et errant : quoniam et ipse circumdatus est infirmitate :
3et propterea debet, quemadmodum pro populo, ita etiam et pro semetipso offerre pro peccatis.
4Nec quisquam sumit sibi honorem, sed qui vocatur a Deo, tamquam Aaron.
5Sic et Christus non semetipsum clarificavit ut pontifex fieret : sed qui locutus est ad eum : Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te.
6Quemadmodum et in alio loco dicit : Tu es sacerdos in æternum, secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
7Qui in diebus carnis suæ preces, supplicationesque ad eum qui possit illum salvum facere a morte cum clamore valido, et lacrimis offerens, exauditus est pro sua reverentia.
8Et quidem cum esset Filius Dei, didicit ex iis, quæ passus est, obedientiam :
9et consummatus, factus est omnibus obtemperantibus sibi, causa salutis æternæ,
10appellatus a Deo pontifex juxta ordinem Melchisedech.
11 De quo nobis grandis sermo, et ininterpretabilis ad dicendum : quoniam imbecilles facti estis ad audiendum.
12Etenim cum deberetis magistri esse propter tempus, rursum indigetis ut vos doceamini quæ sint elementa exordii sermonum Dei : et facti estis quibus lacte opus sit, non solido cibo.
13Omnis enim, qui lactis est particeps, expers est sermonis justitiæ : parvulus enim est.
14Perfectorum autem est solidus cibus : eorum, qui pro consuetudine exercitatos habent sensus ad discretionem boni ac mali.
