2 I saw a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow. A crown was given to him and he conquered.
3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: »Come!«
4 Another horse that was red went out: and power was given to him who sat on it to take peace from the earth. He was given a great sword so that men could kill one another.
5 When he opened the third seal I heard the third beast say: »Come!« I saw a black horse; and he who sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures say: »A measure (quart: U.S. dry). of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see that you do not hurt the oil and the wine.«
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say: »Come!«
8 I looked, and there was a pale horse. The name of the one who sat on him was Death. The grave followed him. Power was given to them over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with pestilence, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the persons who were slaughtered because of the word of God, and for the witness they gave.
10 They cried with a loud voice, saying: »How long, O Lord, holy and true, before you judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?«
11 Each of them was given a white robe. They were told that they should rest for a little while. [They were to wait] until the [number] of their fellow servants and their brothers, who would be killed, as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 When he opened the sixth seal I saw a great earthquake. The sun became black as sackcloth of hair and the moon became like blood.
