Revelation 6

The First Seal on the Scroll

6Then I saw ^ethe Lamb open one of the seven ^fseals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, ^g“Come!” ^hi2I looked, and there was a white horse. ^jThe horseman on it had a bow; ^ka crown ^lwas given to him, and he went out as a victor to conquer. ^m

The Second Seal

³When He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” ^no4Then another horse went out, a fiery red one, ^pand its horseman was empowered ^qto take peace from the earth, so that people would slaughter one another. And a large sword was given to him. ^r

The Third Seal

⁵When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” ^stAnd I looked, and there was a black horse. ^uThe horseman on it had a set of scales in his hand. ^v6Then 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 ^w—but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.” ^x

The Fourth Seal

⁷When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” ^yz8And I looked, and there was a pale green ^ahorse. The horseman on it was named Death, and Hades was following after him. ^bAuthority was given to them ^cdover a fourth of the earth, to kill by the sword, by famine, by plague, and by the wild animals of the earth. ^e

The Fifth Seal

⁹When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the people ^fslaughtered because of God’s word and the testimony they had. ^gh10They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, ⁱthe One who is holy and true, ^jhow long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?” ^k11So a white robe was given to each of them, and they were told to rest a little while longer until the number would be completed of their fellow slaves and their brothers, who were going to be killed just as they had been.

The Sixth Seal

¹²Then I saw Him open ^lthe sixth seal. A violent earthquake occurred; ^mthe sun turned black like sackcloth ⁿmade of goat hair; the entire moon ^obecame like blood; ^p13the stars ^qof heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a high wind; ¹⁴the sky separated like a scroll being rolled up; ^rand every mountain and island was moved from its place. ^s

¹⁵Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the military commanders, the rich, the powerful, and every slave and free person hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. ^t16And they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us ^ufrom the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, ¹⁷because the great day of Their ^vwrath has come! And who is able to stand?” ^w
