Revelation 6
1 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.
2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and
there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying,
Come.
4 And another [horse] came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it
was given to take peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another:
and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying,
Come. And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a
balance in his hand.
6 And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures
saying, A measure of wheat for a shilling, and three measures of barley for a
shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not.
7 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living
creature saying, Come.
8 And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was
Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with
death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of
them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they
held:
10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and
true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them,
that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also
and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have
fulfilled [their course] .
12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as
blood;
13 and the stars of the heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree casteth her
unripe figs when she is shaken of a great wind.
14 And the heaven was removed as a scroll when it is rolled up; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the
rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves
and in the rocks of the mountains; [
16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from
the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 for the great day of their wrath is come; and who is able to stand?
