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.
02 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.
03 And when he had opened the second seal, I
heard the second beast say, Come and see.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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.
07 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and
see.
08 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.
09 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?
