¹I SAW when the Lamb opened one of the 7 seals, and I heard one of the 4 animals saying in a voice like thunder, Come and see. ²And I looked and saw a white horse, and he who sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given to him; and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

³And when he opened the 2nd seal, I heard the 2nd animal say, Come and see. ⁴And there went out another horse, and it was red, and to him who sat on it was given power to take away peace from the earth, that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.

⁵And when he had opened the 3rd seal, I heard the 3rd animal say, Come and see. And look, I saw a black horse; and he who sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. ⁶And I heard a voice in the middle of the 4 animals say, A measure of wheat for a denarius, and 3 measures of barley for a denarius; and see that you do not damage the oil and the wine.

⁷And when he had opened the 4th seal, I heard the 4th animal saying, Come and see. ⁸And I looked and saw a green horse; and the name of him who sat on him was Death, and Sheol followed after him. And power was given him over 1/4th part of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with death and with the wild animals of the earth.

⁹And when he had opened the 5th seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the sake of the word of God and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had; ¹⁰And they cried with a loud voice saying, How long, oh Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on those who live on the earth? ¹¹And a white robe was given to each one of them; and it was said to them that they should rest yet for a little while, until the time should be fulfilled when their fellow servants and their brothers should also be killed as they had been.

¹²And I looked when he had opened the 6th seal, and look, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; ¹³And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts its green figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. ¹⁴And the heavens separated, as a scroll when it is rolled separately; and every mountain and island shifted from its resting place. ¹⁵And the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders of 1,000s and the rich and the mighty men and every bondman and every freeman hid themselves in caves and in clefts of the mountain, ¹⁶And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb; ¹⁷For the great day of his wrath is come, and who will be able to stand?
