The Revelation to John, Chapter 6
{6:1} I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder,
"Come and see!" {6:2} And behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it
had a bow. A crown was given to him, and he came forth conquering, and
to conquer.
{6:3} When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living
creature saying, "Come!" {6:4} Another came forth, a red horse. To him
who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth, and that
they should kill one another. There was given to him a great sword.
{6:5} When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living
creature saying, "Come and see!" And behold, a black horse, and he who
sat on it had a balance in his hand. {6:6} I heard a voice in the
midst of the four living creatures saying, "A [1>]choenix[<1] of wheat
for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don't
damage the oil and the wine!"
{6:7} When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living
creature saying, "Come and see!" {6:8} And behold, a pale horse, and
he who sat on it, his name was Death. [2>]Hades[<2] followed with him.
Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with
famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to
him.
{6:9} When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the
souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the
testimony of the Lamb which they had. {6:10} They cried with a loud
voice, saying, "How long, Master, the holy and true, until you judge
and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" {6:11} A long
white robe was given to each of them. They were told that they should
rest yet for a while, until their fellow servants and their
[3>]brothers,[<3] who would also be killed even as they were, should
complete their course.
{6:12} I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great
earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the
whole moon became as blood. {6:13} The stars of the sky fell to the
earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a
great wind. {6:14} The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled
up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. {6:15}
The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the
rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in
the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. {6:16} They told the
mountains and the rocks, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him
who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, {6:17} for the
great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?"
