1 And I saw note when the Lamb opened one of the seals,
and I heard one of the four animate beings saying, as
with a voice of thunder, Come and see.
2 And I saw,
and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon it had
a bow, and a crown was given Him, and He went forth
conquering and to conquer.
3 And when He opened the
second seal, I heard the second animal saying, Come
and see.
4 And there came out another horse, which was
red: and it was given to him, that sat upon it, to take
peace from the earth, note that they should kill one another:
and there was given him a great sword.
5 And
when He opened the third seal, I heard the third animal
note say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black
horse, and he that sat upon it had a balance in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four animals
saying, One measure of wheat for a note denary, and but
three measures of barley for a note denary: note but see that
thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when He
opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the
fourth animal saying, Come and see.
8 And I saw,
and behold a pale horse, and the name of him that sat
upon it was Death, and note Hades followed note him: and
power was given them to slay note a fourth part of the
earth, by sword, and by famine, and by note pestilence,
and by wild beasts note.
9 And when He opened the fifth
seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those that had
been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony
which they maintained.
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 those that
dwell upon the earth?
11 And white robes were given to
-- --
each of them, and it was told them to note rest a little
while longer, till the number of their fellow-servants,
and their brethren that should be killed as they were,
should be complete.
12 And I saw when He opened the
sixth seal, and behold there was a great earthquake, and
the sun became black as sack-cloth of hair, and the
moon was red as blood;
13 and the stars of heaven fell to
the earth, as a fig-tree droppeth it's unripe figs, when
shaken by a strong wind;
14 and the heaven passed away
as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island
were moved out of their places:
15 and the kings of the
earth, and the grandees, and the rich men, and the
chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave,
and every free man, hid themselves in the caverns and
in the rocks of the mountains;
16 and said to the mountains
and to the rocks, “Fall upon 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 can stand before Him?
