When he opened the third seal, I heard the third creature saying: “Come and see!” And behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a balance in his hand. I heard a voice in the middle of the four living creatures saying: 1 pound of wheat for a silver coin, three pounds of barley for a silver coin, don’t touch the oil and wine!

When he opened the fourth seal, one for the 4 creatures said: “Come!” and I saw a pale horse, and he who sat on it, his name was Death. Hades followed with him. Authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill with the sword, with famine, with death, and by the wild animals of the earth was given to him.
