The opening of the seals in order, and what followed thereupon, containing a prophecy to the end of the world.

1 ¶ Andº I sawºª whenº the² Lambº openedºª oneº ofº the² seals,º andº I heard,ºª as it wereº the noiseº of thunder,º oneº ofº the² fourº beastsº saying,ºª Comeºª andº see.ºª 2 Andº I saw,ºª andº beholdºª a whiteº horse:º andº he that satºª onº himº hadºª a bow;º andº a crownº was givenºª unto him:º andº he went forthºª conquering,ºª andº toº conquer.ºª 3 Andº whenº he had openedºª the² secondº seal,º I heardºª the² secondº beastº say,ºª Comeºª andº see.ºª 4 Andº there went outºª anotherº horseº [that was] red:º andº [power] was givenºª to himº that satºª thereonºº to takeºª peaceº fromº the² earth,º andº thatº they should killºª one another:º andº there was givenºª unto himº a greatº sword.º 5 Andº whenº he had openedºª the² thirdº seal,º I heardºª the² thirdº beastº say,ºª Comeºª andº see.ºª Andº I beheld,ºª andº loºª a blackº horse;º andº he that satºª onº himº hadºª a pair of balancesº inº his¹² hand.º 6 Andº I heardºª a voiceº inº the midstº of the² fourº beastsº say,ºª A measureº of wheatº for a penny,º andº threeº measuresº of barleyº for a penny;º andº [see] thou hurtºª notº the² oilº andº the² wine.º 7 Andº whenº he had openedºª the² fourthº seal,º I heardºª the voiceº of the² fourthº beastº say,ºª Comeºª andº see.ºª 8 Andº I looked,ºª andº beholdºª a paleº horse:º andº hisº nameº that satºª onº himº was Death,º andº Hellº followedºª withº him.º Andº powerº was givenºª unto themº overº the² fourth partº of the² earth,º to killºª withº sword,º andº withº hunger,º andº withº death,º andº withº the² beastsº of the² earth.º 9 Andº whenº he had openedºª the² fifthº seal,º I sawºª underº the² altarº the² soulsº of them that were slainºª forº the² wordº of God,º andº forº the² testimonyº whichº they held:ºª 10 Andº they criedºª with a loudº voice,º saying,ºª How¹ long,º² O Lord,º holyº andº true,º² dost thou¹ª notº judgeºª andº avengeºª ourº bloodº onº them that dwell¹ª² onº the² earth?º 11 Andº whiteº robesº were givenºª unto every one of them;º andº it was saidºª unto them,º thatº they should restºª yetº for a littleº season,º untilº² their¹² fellowservantsº alsoº andº their¹² brethren,º that shouldºª be killedºª asº¹ they¹ [were],²² should¹ be fulfilled.ºª 12 Andº I beheldºª whenº he had openedºª the² sixthº seal,º and,º lo,ºª there wasºª a greatº earthquake;º andº the² sunº becameºª blackº asº sackclothº of hair,º andº the² moonº becameºª asº blood;º 13 Andº the² starsº of heavenº fellºª untoº the² earth,º even asº a fig treeº castethºª her¹² untimely figs,º when she is shakenºª ofº a mightyº wind.º 14 Andº the heavenº departedºª asº a scrollº when it is rolled together;ºª andº everyº mountainº andº islandº were movedºª out ofº their¹² places.º 15 Andº the² kingsº of the² earth,º andº the² great men,º andº the² rich men,º andº the² chief captains,º andº the² mighty men,º andº everyº bondman,º andº everyº free man,º hidºª themselvesº inº the² densº andº inº the² rocksº of the² mountains;º 16 Andº saidºª to the² mountainsº andº rocks,º Fallºª onº us,º andº hideºª usº fromº the faceº of him that sittethºª onº the² throne,º andº fromº the² wrathº of the² Lamb:º 17 Forº the² greatº dayº of his¹² wrathº is come;ºª andº whoº shall be ableºª to stand?ºª
