And I saw when 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 I saw, and Look!, a white horse, and the one who sat on it had a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went out conquering, and to conquer.
And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.”
And another horse came out, a red horse, and the one who sat on it was given power to take peace from the earth so that they would slay one another, and there was given to him a great sword.
And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” And I saw, and Look!, a black horse, and the one who sat on it had a set of scales in his hand.
And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius, and do not hurt the olive oil and the wine.”
And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.”
And I saw, and Look!, a pale horse, and the one who sat on him, his name was Death, and the Grave was with him, following. And there was given to them authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with broadsword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony they had maintained,
and they cried with a great voice, saying, “O Master, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who live on the earth?”
And each one of them was given a long white robe, and they were told that they will rest a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers and sisters, who were about to be killed just as they had been, was complete.
And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth made of goat hair, and the full moon became like blood,
and the stars of heaven fell to the earth like a fig tree casts its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind.
And the heavens were removed like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the military commanders, and the rich, and the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains,
and they say to the mountains and to 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,
for the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
