Revelation 6:9-17
9WhenG3753 the Lamb brokeG455 the fifthG3991 sealG4973, I sawG3708 1underneathG5270 the 2altarG2379 the 3soulsG5590 of thoseG3588 who had been slainG4969 4becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and becauseG1223 of the 5testimonyG3141 whichG3739 they had maintainedG2192; 10and they criedG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “6HowG2193 longG2193G4219, O 78LordG1203, 9holyG40 and trueG228, 10will You refrainG3756 from 11judgingG2919 and avengingG1556 our bloodG129 on 12thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093?” 11And 13there was givenG1325 to eachG1538 of them a whiteG3022 robeG4749; and they were toldG3004 that they should 14restG373 for a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089, 15untilG2193 the number of their fellowG4889 servantsG4889 and their brethrenG80 who were to be killedG615 evenG2532 as they had been, would be 16completedG4137 alsoG2532.
12I lookedG3708 whenG3753 He brokeG455 the sixthG1623 sealG4973, and there was a greatG3173 17earthquakeG4578; and the 18sunG2246 becameG1096 blackG3189 as 19sackclothG4526 made of hairG5155, and the wholeG3650 moonG4582 becameG1096 likeG5613 bloodG129; 13and 20the starsG792 of the skyG3772 fellG4098 to the earthG1093, 21as a figG4808 treeG4808 castsG906 its unripeG3653 figsG3653 when shakenG4579 by a greatG3173 windG417. 1422The skyG3772 was splitG673 apartG673 likeG5613 a scrollG975 when it is rolledG1667 up, and 23everyG3956 mountainG3735 and islandG3520 were movedG2795 out of their placesG5117. 15ThenG2532 24the kingsG935 of the earthG1093 and the greatG3175 menG3175 and the 25commandersG5506 and the richG4145 and the strongG2478 and everyG3956 slaveG1401 and freeG1658 manG1658 hidG2928 themselvesG1438 in the cavesG4693 and amongG1519 the rocksG4073 of the mountainsG3735; 16and they 26saidG3004 to the mountainsG3735 and to the rocksG4073, “FallG4098 on us and hideG2928 us from the 27presenceG4383 of Him 28who sitsG2521 on the throneG2362, and from the 29wrathG3709 of the LambG721; 17for 30the greatG3173 dayG2250 of their wrathG3709 has comeG2064, and 31whoG5101 is ableG1410 to standG2476?”
