New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 When he broke the sixth seal, I looked, and there was a great earthquake; the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood,(A) 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree drops its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.(B) 14 The sky vanished like a scroll rolling itself up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.(C) 15 Then the kings of the earth and the magnates and the generals and the rich and the powerful and everyone, slave and free, hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,(D) 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,(E) 17 for the great day of their[a] wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”(F)

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?”
