Revelation 6

1And I sawG3708 whenG3753 the LambG721 openedG455 oneG1520 of the sevenG2033 sealsG4973, and I heardG191 oneG1520 of the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 sayingG3004 as with a voiceG5456 of thunderG1027, ComeG2064. 2And I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a whiteG3022 horseG2462, and he that satG2521 thereon had a bow; and there was givenG1325 unto him a crownG4735: and he cameG1831 forthG1831 conquering, and to conquer.

3And whenG3753 he openedG455 the secondG1208 sealG4973, I heardG191 the secondG1208 livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, ComeG2064. 4And anotherhorseG2462cameG1831 forthG1831, a redG4450 horseG2462: and to him that satG2521 thereon it was givenG1325 to takeG2983 peaceG1515 from the earthG1093, and that they should slay oneG240 another: and there was givenG1325 unto him a greatG3173 swordG3162.

5And whenG3753 he openedG455 the thirdG5154 sealG4973, I heardG191 the thirdG5154 livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, ComeG2064. And I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a blackG3189 horseG2462; and he that satG2521 thereon had a balance in his handG5495. 6And I heardG191 as it were a voiceG5456 in the midstG3319 of the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 sayingG3004, A measure of wheatG4621 for a shilling, and threeG5140 measures of barley for a shilling; and the oilG1637 and the wineG3631 hurt thou not.

7And whenG3753 he openedG455 the fourth sealG4973, I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of the fourth livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, ComeG2064. 8And I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a pale horseG2462: and he that satG2521 upon him, his nameG3686 was DeathG2288; and HadesG86 followedG190 with him. And there was givenG1325 unto them authorityG1849 over the fourth part of the earthG1093, to killG615 with swordG4501, and with famineG3042, and with deathG2288, and by the wildG2342 beastsG2342 of the earthG1093.

9And whenG3753 he openedG455 the fifthG3991 sealG4973, I sawG3708 underneath the altarG2379 the soulsG5590 of them that had been slainG4969 for the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and for the testimonyG3141 which they heldG2192: 10and they criedG2896 with a greatG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, How long, O MasterG1203, the holyG40 and trueG228, dost thou not judgeG2919 and avengeG1556 our bloodG129 on them that dwellG2730 on the earthG1093? 11And there was givenG1325 them to each oneG1538 a whiteG3022 robeG4749; and it was said unto them, that they should restG373 yet for a little timeG5550, until their fellow-servants alsoG2532 and their brethren, who should be killedG615 evenG2532 as they were, should have fulfilled their course.

12And I sawG3708 whenG3753 he openedG455 the sixthG1623 sealG4973, and there was a greatG3173 earthquakeG4578; and the sunG2246 becameG1096 blackG3189 as sackclothG4526 of hair, and the wholeG3650 moonG4582 becameG1096 as bloodG129; 13and the starsG792 of the heavenG3772 fellG4098 unto the earthG1093, as a figG4808 treeG4808 casteth her unripe figs whenG5613 she is shakenG4579 of a greatG3173 windG417. 14And the heavenG3772 was removed as a scrollG975 whenG5613 it is rolled up; and every mountainG3735 and islandG3520 were movedG2795 out of their placesG5117. 15And the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, and the princes, and the chief captains, and the richG4145, and the strongG2478, and every bondman and freeman, hidG2928 themselves in the caves and in the rocksG4073 of the mountainsG3735; 16and they sayG3004 to the mountainsG3735 and to the rocksG4073, FallG4098 on us, and hideG2928 us from the faceG4383 of him that sitteth on the throneG2362, and from the wrathG3709 of the LambG721: 17for the greatG3173 dayG2250 of their wrathG3709 is comeG2064; and who is ableG1410 to standG2476?
