3WhenG3753 He brokeG455 the secondG1208 sealG4973, I heardG191 the 1secondG1208 livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, “ComeG20642.” 4And anotherG243, 3a redG4450 horseG2462, wentG1831 out; and to him who satG2521 on it, it was grantedG1325 to 4takeG2983 peaceG1515 from the earthG1093, and that men would slayG4969 oneG240 anotherG240; and a greatG3173 swordG3162 was givenG1325 to him.
5WhenG3753 He brokeG455 the thirdG5154 sealG4973, I heardG191 the 5thirdG5154 livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, “ComeG20646.” I lookedG3708, and beholdG2400, a 7blackG3189 horseG2462; and he who satG2521 on it hadG2192 a 8pairG2218 of scalesG2218 in his handG5495. 6And I heardG191 something likeG5613 a voiceG5456 in the centerG3319 of the 9fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 sayingG3004, “A 10quartG5518 of wheatG4621 for a 11denariusG1220, and threeG5140 12quartsG5518 of barleyG2915 for a 13denariusG1220; and 14do not damageG91 the oilG1637 and the wineG3631.”
7WhenG3753 the Lamb brokeG455 the fourthG5067 sealG4973, I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of the 15fourthG5067 livingG2226 creatureG2226 sayingG3004, “ComeG206416.” 8I lookedG3708, and beholdG2400, an 1718ashenG5515 horseG2462; and he who satG2521 on it had the nameG3686 19DeathG2288; and 20HadesG86 was followingG190 with him. AuthorityG1849 was givenG1325 to them overG1909 a fourthG5067 of the earthG1093, 21to killG615 with swordG4501 and with famineG3042 and with 22pestilenceG2288 and by the wildG2342 beastsG2342 of the earthG1093.
9WhenG3753 the Lamb brokeG455 the fifthG3991 sealG4973, I sawG3708 23underneathG5270 the 24altarG2379 the 25soulsG5590 of thoseG3588 who had been slainG4969 26becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and becauseG1223 of the 27testimonyG3141 whichG3739 they had maintainedG2192; 10and they criedG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, sayingG3004, “28HowG2193 longG2193G4219, O 2930LordG1203, 31holyG40 and trueG228, 32will You refrainG3756 from 33judgingG2919 and avengingG1556 our bloodG129 on 34thoseG3588 who dwellG2730 on the earthG1093?” 11And 35there was givenG1325 to eachG1538 of them a whiteG3022 robeG4749; and they were toldG3004 that they should 36restG373 for a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089, 37untilG2193 the number of their fellowG4889 servantsG4889 and their brethrenG80 who were to be killedG615 evenG2532 as they had been, would be 38completedG4137 alsoG2532.
