² The first chariot had ^(A)red horses, the second ^(B)black horses,

⁸ “I saw in the night, and behold, ^(A)a man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were ^(B)red, sorrel, and white horses.

² And I looked, and behold, ^(A)a white horse! And ^(B)its rider had a bow, and ^(C)a crown was given to him, and he came out ^(D)conquering, and to conquer.

³ When he opened the second seal, I heard ^(E)the second living creature say, “Come!” ⁴ And out came another horse, ^(F)bright red. Its rider was permitted ^(G)to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

⁵ When he opened the third seal, I heard the ^(H)third living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, ^(I)a black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. ⁶ And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, ^(J)“A quart^[a] of wheat for a denarius,^[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and ^(K)do not harm the oil and wine!”

³ And ^(A)he carried me away in the Spirit ^(B)into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on ^(C)a scarlet beast that was full of ^(D)blasphemous names, and ^(E)it had seven heads and ten horns.

³ And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great ^(A)red dragon, ^(B)with seven heads and ^(C)ten horns, and on his heads ^(D)seven diadems.
