And when he had 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 testimony which they had borne:

And another angel came, and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, that he might offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that is before the throne.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it into the earth; and there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake.

And the sixth angel sounded: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God,

And a reed like a rod was given to me; and it was said: Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

And another angel that had power over fire, came out from the altar; and he cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, and said: Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are fully ripe.

And I heard a voice from the altar saying: Even so; Lord God Al mighty, true and just are thy judgments.
