1 Then I saw the lamb open
one of the seals, when I heard
one of the four animals with
a voice like thunder, say,
“come, and see.”
2 I look'd,
and there was a white horse;
and he that sat on him had
a bow, and a crown was
given unto him, and he went
forth like a conqueror, to gain
conquests.
3 When he had opened the second
seal, I heard the second
animal say, “come and see.”
4 and there went out another
horse that was red: and power
was given to him that sat
thereon, to note banish peace from
the land, and to make men
kill one another: and there
was given unto him a great
sword.
5 When he had opened the
third seal, I heard the third
animal say, “come and see.”
and I beheld, and saw a
black horse; and he that
-- --
sat on him had a balance in
his hand.
6 and I heard a
voice from amidst the four
animals say, “ notea measure of
wheat for a penny, and
three measures of barley for
a penny; but don't touch
the oil and the wine.” note
7 When he had opened the
fourth seal, I heard the
voice of the fourth animal
say, “come and see.”
8 and
I looked, and there was a
pale horse; the name of
him that sat thereon was note
DEATH, and the Grave followed
with him: and power
was given to them, over the
fourth part of the land to kill
with sword, with famine,
with pestilence, and with
wild beasts. note
9 When he had opened the
fifth seal, I saw under the
altar the souls of those that
were slain for the word of
God, and for the testimony
which they maintain'd.
10 and
they cried with a loud voice,
saying, “how long, O Lord,
holy and true, dost thou defer
doing justice, and avenging
our blood on those
-- --
that dwell on the earth?”
11 and white robes were given
to every one of them, and it
was said unto them, that
they should have patience yet
for a little while, till the
number of their fellow-servants,
and their brethren,
that should be killed, as they
were, should be complete.
12 And when I beheld the
opening of the sixth seal, there
was a great earthquake: the
sun note became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the moon
became as blood; the stars
13 of heaven fell down to the
earth, even as a fig-tree casteth
its untimely figs when it
is shaken by a mighty wind:
the heaven disappeared as a
book when it is rolled up:
14
every mountain and island
were moved out of their places:
the kings of the earth,
the great men,
15 the rich men,
the chief captains, and the
mighty men, every bond-man,
and every free-man, bid
themselves in the caverns,
and in the rocks of the mountains;
and said to the mountains,
and to the rocks,
16 “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 subsist?”
