And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw beneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain on account of the word of God, and the testimony which they had.

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

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it to the earth: and there were thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

And a reed like a rod was given unto me: saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those worshiping in it.

and another angel came out from the altar, having power over the fire; and he called with a great voice to the one having the sharp sickle, Send in thy sharp sickle, and reap the clusters of the vintage of the earth; because her grapes are fully ripe.

And I heard one speaking from the altar, Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
