Revelation 6:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ and I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius,^[a] and three quarts of barley for a denarius;^[b] but do not harm oil and wine!”

⁷ When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” ⁸ And I saw, and behold, a pale horse, and its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him; and they were given power over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.
