1. Then I saw the Lamb open one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, “Come! ”
2. I looked, and there was a white horse. The horseman on it had a bow; a crown was given to him, and he went out as a victor to conquer.
3. When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come! ”
4. Then another horse went out, a fiery red one, and its horseman was empowered to take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And a large sword was given to him.
5. When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come! ” And I looked, and there was a black horse. The horseman on it had a set of scales in his hand.
6. Then I heard something like a voice among the four living creatures say, “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.”
7. When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come! ”
8. And I looked, and there was a pale green horse. The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.
9. When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the people slaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had.
