Revelation 6:6-8
Modern English Version
6 Then I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart[a] of wheat for a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley for a day’s wages,[b] and do not harm the oil and the wine.”
7 When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 So I looked, and there was a pale horse, and the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed him. Power over a fourth of the earth was given to them, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
