u'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.
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, \u201cCome!\u201d
Then another horse came out, a fiery
Red One. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, \u201cCome!\u201d I looked, and there before me was a
Black Horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, \u201cTwo pounds of wheat for a day\u2019s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day\u2019s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!\u201d
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, \u201cCome!\u201d
I looked, and there before me was a
PaIe Horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
