6:1 Once more I looked, and this time I saw four chariots emerging from between two mountains of bronze. 1 6:2 Harnessed to the first chariot were red horses, to the second black horses, 6:3 to the third white horses, and to the fourth spotted horses, all of them strong. 2 6:4 Then I asked the angelic messenger 3 who was speaking with me, “What are these, sir?” 6:5 The messenger replied, “These are the four spirits 4 of heaven that have been presenting themselves before the Lord of all the earth. 6:6 The chariot with the black horses is going to the north country and the white ones are going after them, but the spotted ones are going to the south country. 6:7 All these strong ones 5 are scattering; they have sought permission to go and walk about over the earth.” The Lord had said, “Go! Walk about over the earth!” So they are doing so. 6:8 Then he cried out to me, “Look! The ones going to the northland have brought me 6 peace about the northland.” 7
