Revelation 6
The Seven Seals
Then I looked when the aLamb opened one of the bseven seals, and I heard one of the cfour living creatures saying as with a dvoice of thunder, “Come.” 2 Then I looked, and behold, a awhite horse, and he who sits on it had a bow; and ba crown was given to him, and he went out covercoming and to overcome.
3 And when He opened the second seal, I heard the asecond living creature saying, “Come.” 4 And another, aa red horse, went out; and to him who sits on it, it was given to him to btake peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the athird living creature saying, “Come.” Then I looked, and behold, a bblack horse; and he who sits on it had a cpair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the afour living creatures saying, “One choinix of wheat for one denarius, and three choinix of barley for one denarius, and bdo not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the afourth living creature saying, “Come.” 8 Then I looked, and behold, a apale horse; and he who sits on it had the name bDeath, and bHades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, cto kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw aunderneath the baltar the csouls of those who had been slain dbecause of the word of God, and because of the ewitness which they had maintained; 10 and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “aHow long, O bMaster, choly and true? Will You not djudge and avenge our blood on ethose who dwell on the earth?” 11 And aa white robe was given to each of them; and it was told to them that they should brest for a little while longer, cuntil the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were to be killed even as they had been, would be dcompleted also.
12 Then I looked when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great aearthquake; and the bsun became black as csackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and athe stars of the sky fell to the earth, bas a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 aAnd the sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and bevery mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then athe kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man bhid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *asaid to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him bwho sits on the throne, and from the cwrath of the Lamb, 17 for athe great bday of their wrath has come, and cwho is able to stand?”
