6:1 • And I watched when the Lamb removed one of the seven seals [q), and I heard one of the four living things say, as a voice of thunder, “Come!” 2 Then I looked, and • I saw [the seal as] a white horse with the one sitting upon it holding a bow. A crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering, that he might conquer. 3 And when He removed the second seal, I heard the second living thing say, “Come.” • 4 The [seal was as] another horse, bright red, going forth with one sitting upon it. It was granted to that one to take peace from the earth, that they would kill one another; and a great shield-wall sword was given to him. 5 And when the Lamb removed the third seal, I heard the third living thing say, “Come!” • And I looked and saw a black horse and the one who sat upon it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard the resemblance of a voice in the midst of the four living things saying, “A measure of wheat for a denarius and three measures of barley for a denarius, and you will not do wickedly against the oil and the wine.” 7 And when He removed the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living thing say, “Come!” • 8 Then I looked, and I saw [the seal was as] a pale horse with one sitting upon it; his name was Death, and hades followed with him, and authority was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine, with death and by the wild beasts of the earth [r]. 9 And when the Lamb removed the fifth seal, • I saw under the altar of incense the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony which they possessed. 10 But they were screaming with a loud noise saying, “Until when, O Lord, devoted and true? Do you not judge and avenge our blood upon those dwelling upon the earth?” 11 White robes were then given to each of them; and they were told to rest, that is, to be quiet for awhile, until their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters alive on the earth, should be made complete, for many more would yet be killed. 12 And I saw when He removed the sixth seal, and [the seal was as] a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the entire moon became like blood 13 and the stars of heaven fell into the earth as the fig tree casts its unripe figs as it is shaken by a great wind. 15 And heaven was swept aside, like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones, the commanders, the rich and the strong, and every servant and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, • 16 and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall upon us, and hide us away from the face of the One sitting upon the throne and away from the opposition of the Lamb, 17 because the day of Their great opposition has come and who is able to stand?” [s)
