6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come^[a]. ² And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

³ And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, Come^[b]. ⁴ And another horse came forth, a red horse: and to him that sat thereon it was given to take ^[c]peace from the earth, and that they should slay one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

⁵ And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, Come. ^[d]And I saw, and behold, a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. ⁶ And I heard as it were a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ^[e]A measure of wheat for a ^[f]shilling, and three measures of barley for a ^[g]shilling; and the oil and the wine hurt thou not.

⁷ And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, Come^[h]. ⁸ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse: and he that sat upon him, his name was Death; and Hades followed with him. And there was given unto them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with ^[i]death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
