    1The Seven Seals I looked on when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a thunderous voice,“Come!”

    2So I looked, and here came a white horse! The one who rode it had a bow, and he was given a crown, and as a conqueror he rode out to conquer.

    3Then when the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying,“Come!”

    4And another horse, fiery red, came out, and the one who rode it was granted permission to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher one another, and he was given a huge sword.

    5Then when the Lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature saying,“Come!” So I looked, and here came a black horse! The one who rode it had a balance scale in his hand.

    6Then I heard something like a voice from among the four living creatures saying,“A quart of wheat will cost a day’s pay and three quarts of barley will cost a day’s pay. But do not damage the olive oil and the wine!”

    7Then when the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying,“Come!”

    8So I looked and here came a pale green horse! The name of the one who rode it was Death, and Hades followed right behind. They were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, famine, and disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

    9Now when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given.

    10They cried out with a loud voice,“How long, Sovereign Master, holy and true, before you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?”

    11Each of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached of both their fellow servants and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.
