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. |
8
|
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
|
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 blood on them that dwell on the earth? |
11
|
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? |
