Revelation 6:1-14
(1) Now I saw when the Lamb
opened one of the seals; and I heard one of
the four living creatures saying with a voice
like thunder, " Come and see."
(2) And I looked , and
behold, a white horse. And he who sat on it
had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and
he went out conquering and to conquer.
(3) When He opened the
second seal, I heard the second living
creature saying, "Come and see."
(4) And another horse ,
fiery red went out. And it was granted to the
one who sat on it to take peace from the
earth, and that people should kill one
another and there was given to him a great
sword.
(5) When He opened the
third seal, I heard the third living creature
say, "Come and see." And I looked, and
behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it
had a pair of scales in his hand.
(6) And I heard a voice in
the midst of the four living creatures
saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius, and
three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do
not harm the oil and the wine."
(7) When He opened the
fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth
living creature saying "Come see."
(8) And I looked, and
behold a pale horse. And the name of him who
sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with
him. And power was given to them over a
fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with
hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the
earth.
(9) When He opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls
of those who had been slain for the word of
God and for the testimony which they
held.
(10) And they cried with a
loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy
and true, until You judge and avenge our
blood on those who dwell on the earth?"
(11) And a white robe was
given to each of them; and it was said to
them that they should rest a little while
longer, until both the number of their
fellow servants and their brethren, who would
be killed as they were, was
completed.
(12) I looked when He
opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was
a great earthquake; and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
like blood.
(13) And the stars of
heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops
its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty
wind.
(14) The the sky receded
as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every
mountain and island was moved out of its
place.
