The First Seal
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 to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
The Second Seal
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 to him a great sword.
The Third Seal
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 scales in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say: “A measure of wheat for a denarius, and three measures of barley for a denarius; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.”
The Fourth Seal
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 green horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hades followed together with him. And authority was given to 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.
The Fifth Seal
9 And when He had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those that were slain for the word of God, and for the witness which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: “How long, O Master, holy and true, do you judge not, and avenge our blood on those that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them: that they should rest yet, for a little time, until their fellowservants also and their brothers, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
The Sixth Seal
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 to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her late figs, when it is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven receded as a scroll when it is rolled up; 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 military commanders, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the caves 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 sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of His wrath has come; and who shall be able to stand?”
