Revelation 6

The Third Seal: Famine

5 And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!"

Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales. 6 And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a denarius,*6:6 Greek A choenix of wheat for a denarius.A choenix was a Greek dry measure equivalent to 1.92 pints or 0.91 liters. A denarius was customarily a day’s wage for a laborer; see Matthew 20:2. and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine."
