12 και ειδον οτε ηνοιξεν την σφραγιδα την εκτην και ιδου σεισμος μεγας εγενετο και ο ηλιος εγενετο μελας ως σακκος τριχινος και η σεληνη εγενετο ως αιμα

13 και οι αστερες του ουρανου επεσαν εις την γην ως συκη βαλλει τους ολυνθους αυτης υπο μεγαλου ανεμου σειομενη

14 και ουρανος απεχωρισθη ως βιβλιον ειλισσομενον και παν ορος και νησος εκ των τοπων αυτων εκινηθησαν

15 και οι βασιλεις της γης και οι μεγιστανες και οι πλουσιοι και οι χιλιαρχοι και οι δυνατοι και πας δουλος και πας ελευθερος εκρυψαν εαυτους εις τα σπηλαια και εις τας πετρας των ορεων

16 και λεγουσιν τοις ορεσιν και ταις πετραις πεσετε εφ ημας και κρυψατε ημας απο προσωπου του καθημενου επι του θρονου και απο της οργης του αρνιου

17 οτι ηλθεν η ημερα η μεγαλη της οργης αυτου και τις δυναται σταθηναι

12 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood,

13 and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being shaken --

14 and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every mountain and island -- out of their places they were moved;

15 and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in the rocks of the mountains,

16 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,'

17 because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

The Sixth Seal: Terror

12 And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great (A)earthquake; and the (B)sun became as black as (C)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; 13 and (D)the stars of the sky fell to the earth, (E)as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. 14 (F)The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and (G)every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then (H)the kings of the earth and the eminent people, and the commanders and the wealthy and the strong, and every slave and free person hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; 16 and they *(I)said to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the [a]sight of Him (J)who sits on the throne, and from the (K)wrath of the Lamb; 17 for (L)the great day of Their wrath has come, and (M)who is able to stand?”
