Revelation 6:6-11

New International Version

⁶ Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,^(A) saying, “Two pounds^[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,^[b] and six pounds^[c] of barley for a day’s wages,^[d](B) and do not damage^(C) the oil and the wine!”

⁷ When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature^(D) say, “Come!” ⁸ I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!^(E) Its rider was named Death, and Hades^(F) was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.^(G)

⁹ When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under^(H) the altar^(I) the souls of those who had been slain^(J) because of the word of God^(K) and the testimony they had maintained. ¹⁰ They called out in a loud voice, “How long,^(L) Sovereign Lord,^(M) holy and true,^(N) until you judge the inhabitants of the earth^(O) and avenge our blood?”^{(P) 11} Then each of them was given a white robe,^(Q) and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters,^[e] were killed just as they had been.^(R)
