Revelation 6:5-7
EasyEnglish Bible
5 Then the Lamb opened the third seal. I heard the next being say, ‘Come!’ I looked, and I saw a black horse. The person who was riding the horse held something in his hand. He used it to weigh things. 6 Then I heard a sound like somebody speaking among the four beings. The voice said, ‘A litre of wheat is worth one day's work. And three litres of barley is also worth one day's work. But do not destroy the olive oil and the wine.’[a]
7 Then the Lamb opened the fourth seal. I heard the last being say, ‘Come!’

- 6:6 Wheat and barley are plants that farmers grow. People use the seeds to make flour for bread. The rider on the black horse weighs the wheat and barley seeds. They are very expensive. This shows a time of trouble when people will not have enough food to eat. There may not be enough water to grow wheat or barley. But the rider on the black horse must not destroy the fruits that grow on trees (olives and grapes). So this time of trouble will not destroy everything that people need.
