“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 beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to
conquer.”
“3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast
say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse [that was] red:
and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to 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 the
third beast 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 And I heard a
voice in the midst of the four beasts 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. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard
the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 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 unto 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.”
“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: 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? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of
them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little
season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should
be killed as they [were], should be fulfilled. 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;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14 And
the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places. 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 bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 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: 17 For the
great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”
