Revelation 6:6-8

6And I heard something like a voice in the center of the 1four living creatures saying, “A 2quart of wheat for a 3denarius, and three 4quarts of barley for a 5denarius; and 6do not damage the oil and the wine.”

7When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the 7fourth living creature saying, “Come8!” 8I looked, and behold, 9an 10ashen horse; and the one who sat on it had the name 11Death, and 12Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, 13to kill with sword, and famine, and 14plague, and by the wild animals of the earth.
