006:007 When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living
creature saying, "Come and see!"
006:008 And behold, a pale horse, and he who sat on it,
his name was Death. Hades{or, Hell} followed with him.
Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword,
with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth
was given to him.
006:009 When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar
the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God,
and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.
006:010 They cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy

dwell on the earth?"
006:011 A long white robe was given to each of them. They were told
that they should rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants
and their brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context
