And I heard another out of the altar say,.... That is, another angel that came out of the altar; see Re 14:18 and who represents the souls under the altar, whose blood had been shed by the above persons; compare with this Re 6:9 though, there, such whose blood had been shed by Rome Pagan are described; the Ethiopic version calls this angel as before, "the angel of the fountains of water"; and the Alexandrian copy, and Syriac and Arabic versions, read, "I heard the altar saying": as follows,even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments; the same as in Re 15:3.
