Revelations 6 – 1

Then I when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come. I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow: and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer. When He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come.”And another, a red horse, went out: and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given him. When He the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse: and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. And I heard something like a voice in the center of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” When the Lamb broke, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
