6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I
heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living
beings saying, Come and see.
6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse: and he that sat on him
had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth
conquering, and to conquer.
6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second
living being say, Come and see.
6:4 And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power]
was given to him that sat upon him to take peace from the
earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was
given to him a great sword.
6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third
living being say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black
horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his
hand.
6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living beings
say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of
barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the
wine.
6:7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of
the fourth living being say, Come and see.
6:8 And I looked, and behold, a pale horse: and his name that
sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him. And power was
given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with
sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of
the earth.
6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar
the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for
the testimony which they held:
6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth?
6:11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was
said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, that
should be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled.
6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and lo,
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood:
6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a
fig-tree casteth its untimely figs, when it is shaken by a
mighty wind.
6:14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and isle were moved out of their
places.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich
men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bond-man, and every free-man, hid themselves in the dens and in
the rocks of the mountains;
6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide
us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from
the wrath of the Lamb:
6:17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who will be
able to stand?
