And I saw that the
Lamb had opened one
-- --
of the seven seals, and I heard
one of the four living creatures,
as it were the noise of
thunder, saying: Come and
see.
2 And I saw; and behold
a note white horse, and he that
sat on him had a bow, and
there was a crown given him,
and he went forth conquering
that he might conquer.
3 And when he had opened
the second seal, I heard the
second living creature, saying:
Come, and see.
4 And there went out another
horse that was red:
and to him that sat thereon,
it was given that he should
take peace from the earth,
and that they should kill one
another, and a great sword
was given to him.
5 And when he had opened
the third seal, I heard the
third living creature, saying:
Come, and see. And behold
a black horse, and he that sat
on him, had a balance in his
hand.
6 And I heard as it were
a voice in the midst of the four
living creatures, saying: Two
pounds of wheat for a penny,
and thrice two pounds of barley
for a penny, and see thou
hurt not the wine nor the oil.
7 And when he had opened
the fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth living creature,
saying: Come and see.
8 And behold a pale horse
and he that sat upon him, his
name was Death, and hell followed
after him. And power
was given to him over the four
parts of the earth, to kill with
sword, with famine, and with
death, and with the beasts of
the earth.
9 And when he had opened
the fifth seal, I saw note 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 note revenge
-- --
our blood on them that dwell
on the earth?
11 And white robes were
given to every one of them
one: and it was said to them,
that they should rest yet for a
little time, till their brethren
that should be slain, even as
they, should be filled up.
12 And I saw, when he
had opened the sixth seal: and
behold, there was a great
earth-quake, and the sun became
black as sack-cloth of
hair: and the whole moon
became as blood:
13 And the stars from
heaven fell upon the earth, as
the fig-tree casteth its green figs
when it is shaken by a great
wind:
14 And the heaven departed
as a book folded up: and
every mountain, and the
islands were moved out of
their place.
15 And the kings of the
earth, and the princes, and
the tribunes, and the rich men,
and the strong men, and every
bond-man, and every free-man
hid themselves in the
dens and in the rocks of the
mountain:
16 And they say to the
mountains and the rocks:
Fall upon us, and hide us
from the face of him that
sitteth upon the throne, and
from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of
their wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
