Revelation 6:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 And I heard something like a voice in the center of the (A)four living creatures saying, “A [a]quart of wheat for a [b]denarius, and three [c]quarts of barley for a [d]denarius; and (B)do not damage the oil and the wine.”
The Fourth Seal—Death
7 When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the (C)fourth living creature saying, “Come[e].” 8 I looked, and behold, an [f](D)ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name (E)Death; and (F)Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, (G)to kill with sword and with famine and with [g]pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
