And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of the slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they had:

And another angel came and was placed by the altar, having a golden censer; and many perfumes were given him, that he might give to the prayers of the holy upon the golden altar before the throne.

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

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

And a reed was given me like rod: and the messenger stood, saying, Arise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them worshipping in it.

And another angel came forth from the altar, having power over fire; and he called with a great cry to him having the sharp sickle, saying, Send thy sharp sickle, and harvest the grapes of the vineyard of the earth; for her grapes were fully ripe.

And I heard another from the altar saying, Yes, O Lord God, the Omnipotent Ruler, true and just thy judgments.
