Chapter 6 |
1 | 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. |
|
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was
Death, and aHell 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
1blood on them that dwell on the earth?

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? |
