Revelation 6:3-11

3AndG2532 whenG3753 the Lamb openedG455 theG3588 secondG1208 sealG4973, I heardG191 theG3588 secondG1208 living creatureG2226 sayG3004, “ComeG2064!”

4ThenG2532 anotherG243 horseG2462 went forthG1831. It was bright redG4450, andG2532 its riderG3588G2521G1909G846 was granted permissionG1325 to take awayG2983 peaceG1515 fromG1537 theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 to make men slayG4969 one anotherG240. AndG2532 heG846 was givenG1325 a greatG3173 swordG3162.

5AndG2532 whenG3753 the Lamb openedG455 theG3588 thirdG5154 sealG4973, I heardG191 theG3588 thirdG5154 living creatureG2226 sayG3004, “ComeG2064!”

ThenG2532 I lookedG3708 andG2532 sawG2400 a blackG3189 horseG2462, andG2532 its riderG3588G2521G1909G846 heldG2192 inG1722 hisG846 handG5495 a pair of scalesG2218. 6AndG2532 I heardG191 what sounded likeG5613 a voiceG5456 from amongG1722G3319 theG3588 fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, sayingG3004, “A quartG5518 of wheatG4621 for a denariusG1220,1 andG2532 threeG5140 quartsG5518 of barleyG2915 for a denariusG1220, andG2532 do not harmG3361G91 theG3588 oilG1637 andG2532 wineG3631.”

7AndG2532 whenG3753 the Lamb openedG455 theG3588 fourthG5067 sealG4973, I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of theG3588 fourthG5067 living creatureG2226 sayG3004, “ComeG2064!”

8ThenG2532 I lookedG3708 andG2532 sawG2400 a pale greenG5515 horseG2462. Its rider’sG3588G2521G1883G846 nameG3686 was DeathG2288, andG2532 HadesG86 followedG190 close behindG3326G846. AndG2532 theyG846 were givenG1325 authorityG1849 overG1909 a fourthG5067 of theG3588 earthG1093, to killG615 byG1722 swordG4501, byG1722 famineG3042, byG1722 plagueG2288, andG2532 by theG3588 beastsG2342 of theG3588 earthG1093.

9AndG2532 whenG3753 the Lamb openedG455 theG3588 fifthG3991 sealG4973, I sawG3708 underG5270 theG3588 altarG2379 theG3588 soulsG5590 of those whoG3588 had been slainG4969 forG1223 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 forG1223 theG3588 testimonyG3141 they had upheldG2192. 10AndG2532 they cried outG2896 in a loud voiceG3173G5456, “How longG4219, OG3588 LordG1203, holyG40 andG2532 trueG228, untilG2193 You judgeG2919 those whoG3588 dwellG2730 uponG1909 theG3588 earthG1093 andG2532 avengeG1556 ourG1473 bloodG129?”

11ThenG2532 eachG1538 of themG846 was givenG1325 a whiteG3022 robeG4749 andG2532 toldG2046 toG2443 restG373 a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 untilG2193 the full numberG4137G2532 of theirG846 fellow servantsG4889, theirG846 brothersG80, wereG3195 killedG615, just asG5613 theyG846 had been killed.
