6Verse 1And I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living beings saying, like a voice of thunder, “Come!”+Verse 2And I looked and, wow, a white horse!+And he who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, that is, in order to conquer.
The second seal
Verse 3And when He opened the second seal I heard the second living being saying, “Come!”+Verse 4And another horse went out, fiery red, and it was granted to him who sat on it to take the peace from the earth, so that they would slaughter each other; also, a huge sword was given to him.
The third seal
Verse 5And when He opened the third seal I heard the third living being saying, “Come!” And I looked and, wow, a black horse! And he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.Verse 6And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings saying: “A ‘quart’ of wheat for a denarius+and three ‘quarts’ of barley for a denarius; but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.”+
The fourth seal
Verse 7And when He opened the fourth seal I heard a voice from the fourth living being saying, “Come!”Verse 8And I looked and, wow, a sickly pale horse! And as for the one sitting upon it, his name is Death, and Hades follows with him.+And authority was given to him+over a fourth of the earth, to kill by sword and by famine and by death, also by the wild animals of the earth.+
The fifth seal
Verse 9And when He opened the fifth seal I saw underneath the altar the souls of the people who had been slaughtered on account of the Word of God and on account of the testimony of the Lamb which they held.+Verse 10And they cried out with a loud voice saying: “How long, O Sovereign, Holy and True, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”Verse 11So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told that they should rest a while longer, until both their fellow slaves and their brothers,+who were about to be killed just like they were, should complete the number.
The sixth seal
Verse 12And I saw, just when He opened the sixth seal—there was a severe earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became like blood.Verse 13And the stars of heaven fell to the earth,+like a fig tree drops its late figs when shaken by a strong wind.Verse 14And the sky was split, like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.+Verse 15And the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the mighty, and every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.+Verse 16And they said to 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!Verse 17Because the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”+
