6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures,(A) saying, “Two pounds[a] of wheat for a day’s wages,[b] and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wages,[d](B) and do not damage(C) the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature(D) say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse!(E) Its rider was named Death, and Hades(F) was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.(G)
