Then I saw when the ^(a)Lamb broke one of the ^(b)seven seals, and I heard one of the ^(c)four living creatures saying as with a ^(d)voice of thunder, "Come^[a]."

I looked, and behold, a ^(e)white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and ^(f)a crown was given to him, and he went out ^(g)conquering and to conquer.

When He broke the second seal, I heard the ^(h)second living creature saying, "Come^[b]."

And another, ⁽ⁱ⁾a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to ^(j)take peace from the earth, and that men would slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "^(z)How long, O ^[k](aa)Lord, ^(ab)holy and true, ^[l]will You refrain from ^(ac)judging and avenging our blood on ^(ad)those who dwell on the earth?"

And ^(ae)there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should ^(af)rest for a little while longer, ^(ag)until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be ^(ah)completed also.

I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great ^(ai)earthquake; and the ^(aj)sun became black as ^(ak)sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;
