1 (NIV) I watched as the
Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I
heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come!" 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was
given a crown, and he rode out as a
conqueror bent on conquest. 3 When the Lamb opened the second sealÉ 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given
power to take peace from the earth and to
make men slay each otherÉ 5 When the Lamb
opened the third sealÉ there before me was a
black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard É a voice É saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of
barley for a day's wages, and do not damage
the oil and the wine!"
