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!”

⁴ They were told not to harm^(A) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,^(B) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.^(C)

⁶ Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,^(A) clear as crystal.

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,^(B) and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.^(C)

³ “Do not harm^(A) the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads^(B) of the servants of our God.”
