6:3 Then 8 when the Lamb 9 opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” 6:4 And another horse, fiery red, 10 came out, and the one who rode it 11 was granted permission 12 to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher 13 one another, and he was given a huge sword.
