Revelation 6:5-6

International Standard Version

The Vision of the Third Seal Opened

⁵ When the lamb^[a] opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Go!” I looked, and there was a black horse! Its rider held a scale in his hand. ⁶ I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “One day’s ration of wheat for a day’s wage, or three day’s ration of barley for a day’s wage!^[b] But don’t damage the olive oil or the wine!”
