Revelation 6:6-8
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living-creatures, saying “A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius[b], and three quarts of barley for a denarius. And do not harm the olive-oil and the wine”.
7 And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living-creature saying, “Come”. 8 And I saw, and behold— there was a pale-green horse, and the one sitting on it. Death was the name for him. And Hades was following with him. And authority[c] was given to them over a fourth of the earth[d], to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild-beasts of the earth.
