1 I watched while the Lamb ripped off the first of the seven seals. I heard one of the Animals roar, "Come out!" 2 I looked--I saw a white horse. Its rider carried a bow and was given a victory garland. He rode off victorious, conquering right and left. 3 When the Lamb ripped off the second seal, I heard the second Animal cry, "Come out!" 4 Another horse appeared, this one red. Its rider was off to take peace from the earth, setting people at each other's throats, killing one another. He was given a huge sword. 5 When he ripped off the third seal, I heard the third Animal cry, "Come out!" I looked. A black horse this time. Its rider carried a set of scales in his hand. 6 I heard a message (it seemed to issue from the Four Animals): "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, or three quarts of barley, but all the oil and wine you want." 7 When he ripped off the fourth seal, I heard the fourth Animal cry, "Come out!" 8 I looked. A colorless horse, sickly pale. Its rider was Death, and Hell was close on its heels. They were given power to destroy a fourth of the earth by war, famine, disease, and wild beasts.
