5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the (A)third living creature saying, “Come.” Then I looked, and behold, a (B)black horse; and he who sits on it had a (C)pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the (D)four living creatures saying, “One [a]choinix of wheat for one [b]denarius, and three [c]choinix of barley for one [d]denarius, and (E)do not harm the oil and the wine.”
