Revelation 6:4-6
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
4 And another horse— a fire-red one— went out. And to the one sitting on it, authority was given to him to take the peace[a] from the earth, and[b] that they will slay one another. And a great sword was given to him.
5 And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living-creature saying, “Come”. And I saw, and behold— there was a black horse, and the one sitting on it holding a balance-scale in his hand. 6 And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living-creatures, saying “A quart[c] of wheat for a denarius[d], and three quarts of barley for a denarius. And do not harm the olive-oil and the wine”.
