Revelation 6:1–8:1
And aI saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, aaas it were the noise of thunder, bone of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold cda white horse: dand he that sat on him ehad a bow; and fa crown was given unto him: and he went forth gconquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard hthe second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another ihorse that was red: and jpower was given to him that sat thereon kto take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard hthe third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo la black horse; and he that sat on him had ma pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ||nA measure of wheat for oa penny, and three measures of barley for oa penny; and see thou oohurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of hthe fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold pa pale horse: and his name that sat on him was qDeath, and qHell followed with him. And power was given ||unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill rswith sword, and nrswith hunger, and rswith death, and rtwith the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw uunder vthe altar wxthe souls of them that were slain yfor the word of God, and yyfor the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, xHow long, zO Lord, aholy and true, dost thou not bjudge and cavenge our blood on dthem that dwell on the earth? 11 And ewhite robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, fthat they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, gshould be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, hthere was a great earthquake; and ithe sun became black as sackcloth of khair, and ilthe moon became as blood; 13 And imthe stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even nas a fig tree casteth her ||untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And othe heaven departed pas a scroll when it is rolled together; and every qrmountain and risland were moved out of their places. 15 And the kings of the earth, and stthe great men, and the rich men, and the suchief captains, and vthe mighty men, and wevery bondman, and wevery free man, xhid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16 yAnd said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of zhim that sitteth on the throne, and from athe wrath of the Lamb: 17 For bthe great day of his wrath is come; and cwho shall be able dto stand?
7 And after these things I saw afour angels standing on athe four corners of the earth, holding bthe four winds of the earth, fthat the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. 2 And I saw another angel ascending from cthe east, having dthe seal of ethe living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, 3 Saying, fHurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have dsealed the servants of our God gin their foreheads. 4 hAnd I heard ithe number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed kan hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of lManasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of lJoseph were sealed twelve thousand.
Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, ma great multitude, which no man could number, nof all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with owhite robes, and ppalms in their hands; 10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, qSalvation to our God rwhich sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood sround about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12 Saying, tAmen: uBlessing, and uglory, and uwisdom, and vthanksgiving, and uhonour, and upower, and umight, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13 And one of the elders wanswered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in owhite robes? and whence came they? 14 And I said unto him, xSir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of ygreat tribulation, and have zwashed their robes, and omade them white ain the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him bday and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne cshall dwell among them. 16 dThey shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; deneither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne fshall feed them, and gshall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and hGod shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
8 And awhen he had opened bthe seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
