The Third Seal—Famine
5 When He broke the third seal, I heard the (C)third living creature saying, “Come[a].” I looked, and behold, a (D)black horse; and he who sat on it had a (E)pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the (F)four living creatures saying, “A [b]quart of wheat for a [c]denarius, and three [d]quarts of barley for a [e]denarius; and (G)do not damage the oil and the wine.”

5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature(C) say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse!(D) Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,(E) saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d](F) and do not damage(G) the oil and the wine!”
