CHAPTER 6
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one
of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2
And I saw, 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, Come and see.
4
And there
went out another horse
that was
red: and
power
was given to him that sat thereon to take peace
from the earth, and 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. And I beheld,
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, 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 heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto
them 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 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 white robes were given unto every one of them; and
it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and
their brethren, that should be killed as they
were,
should be fulfilled.
12
And I beheld when he had
opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig
tree casteth her 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 rich men, and the chief captains, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every 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?
CHAPTER 7
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four
winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2
And
I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with
a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3
Saying, Hurt
not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their
