Verse 10 is found in chapter 6 of Revelation. When the fifth seal is opened, John sees beneath the altar the souls of those who were killed because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. Their cry for justice is not presented as a denial of divine sovereignty, but as a request for judgment. They receive white robes and are told to wait until the number of their fellow servants is complete. The passage affirms that the suffering of the martyrs is not forgotten and that divine justice has an appointed time.

Clamaban con fuerte voz: «¿Hasta cuándo, Soberano santo y verdadero, no juzgarás y vengarás nuestra sangre en los habitantes de la tierra?».
Ils crièrent d'une voix forte, en disant: Jusques à quand, Maître saint et véritable, tardes-tu à juger, et à tirer vengeance de notre sang sur les habitants de la terre?
E gridarono con gran voce, dicendo: Infino a quando, o Signore, che sei il santo, e il verace, non fai tu giudicio, e non vendichi tu il nostro sangue sopra coloro che abitano sopra la terra?
E clamavam com grande voz, dizendo: Até quando, ó verdadeiro e santo Dominador, não julgas e vingas o nosso sangue dos que habitam sobre a terra?
