And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Verse 11 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.

Und ihnen wurde gegeben einem jeglichen ein weißes Kleid, und ward zu ihnen gesagt, daß sie ruhten noch eine kleine Zeit, bis daß vollends dazukämen ihre Mitknechte und Brüder, die auch sollten noch getötet werden gleich wie sie.
Y les fueron dadas sendas ropas blancas, y fueles dicho que reposasen todavía un poco de tiempo, hasta que se completaran sus consiervos y sus hermanos, que también habían de ser muertos como ellos.
Se dio a cada uno una túnica blanca y se les dijo que descansaran todavía un poco de tiempo, hasta que se completara el número de sus consiervos y hermanos que habían de ser asesinados como ellos.
Une robe blanche fut donnée à chacun d'eux; et il leur fut dit de se tenir en repos quelque temps encore, jusqu'à ce que fût complet le nombre de leurs compagnons de service et de leurs frères qui devaient être mis à mort comme eux.
E furono date a ciascuna d’esse delle stole bianche, e fu loro detto che si riposassero ancora un poco di tempo, infino a tanto che fosse ancora compiuto il numero de’ lor conservi, e de’ lor fratelli, che hanno da essere uccisi, com’essi.
E foram dadas a cada um compridas vestes brancas e foi-lhes dito que repousassem ainda um pouco de tempo, até que também se completasse o número de seus conservos e seus irmãos, que haviam de ser mortos como eles foram.
於是有白袍賜給他們各人;又有話吩咐他們還要歇息片刻,等到與他們同作僕人的,和他們的弟兄,像他們一樣被殺的人的數目湊足的時候。
