1 And I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, 'Come and see.'

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 I looked, and there was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.

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 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, 'Come and see.'

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

4 Then another horse came out, fiery red. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth, so that people would kill one another, and he was given a large sword.

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 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, 'Come and see.' I looked, and there was a black horse! Its rider held a pair of scales in his hand.

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 what seemed like a voice from among the four living creatures saying, 'A quart of wheat for a day’s wage, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wage, but do not harm the olive oil and the wine.'

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 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, 'Come and see.'

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.

8 I looked, and there was a pale green horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades followed closely with him. They were given authority over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword, with famine, with plague, and by the beasts of the earth.

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 When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.

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 They cried out with a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?'

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 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants and brothers were killed just as they had been.

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 watched as the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. The sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon turned red like blood.

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 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its unripe figs when shaken by a strong wind.

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 The sky receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved from its place.

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 The kings of the earth, the nobles, the wealthy, the military commanders, the mighty, and everyone—slave and free—hid themselves in caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

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 they said to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb!'

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 their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
