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

And another angel came and stood by the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given him much incense to present with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne.

And the angel took the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth; and there were thunders and lightning and voices and an earthquake.

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

And a rod was given me like a staff, and he said, Arise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those that worship in it.

and another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and cried with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, Send your sharp sickle and gather the grapes of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.

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