Revelation 6

¹ And I saw ^[1]that the Lamb opened one of the ^[2]seven seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. ² ^[3]And behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

³ And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, ^[4]Come. ⁴ And there went out another horse ^[5]of fire: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, ^[6]that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

⁵ And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. ^[7]And lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. ⁶ And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, ^[8]A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

⁷ And when he had opened the fourth seal, I ^[9]heard the fourth beast say, Come and see. ⁸ ^[10]And behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell ^[11]followed him. And power was given unto ^[12]him over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony ^[13]of the Lamb which they held: ¹⁰ and they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? ¹¹ And ^[14]a white robe was given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a ^[15]season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, ^[16]and those that should be killed as they were, should ^[17]have fulfilled their course.

¹² And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and ^[18]there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the ^[19]whole moon became as blood; ¹³ and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree ^[20]casting her ^[21]untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. ¹⁴ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. ¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the ^[22]chief captains, and the rich men, and the ^[23]strong men, and every bondman, and ^[24]free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; ¹⁶ and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: ¹⁷ for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
