⁸ I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.

⁴ And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.

² In the first war-carriage were red horses; and in the second, black horses;

³ And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.

⁴ And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

⁵ And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶ The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.

⁷ And the red ones go to the east; and they made request that they might go up and down through the earth: and he said, Go up and down through the earth. So they went up and down through the earth.

⁷ Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

¹³ In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

¹⁹ I will put in the waste land the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive-tree; and in the lowland will be planted the fir-tree, the plane, and the cypress together:

¹⁹ And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, come together to make war against him who was seated on the horse and against his army.

²⁰ And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet who did the signs before him, by which they were turned from the true way who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image: these two were put living into the sea of ever-burning fire.

²¹ And the rest were put to death with the sword of him who was on the horse, even the sword which came out of his mouth: and all the birds were made full with their flesh.

¹ To the angel of the church in Ephesus say: These things says he who has the seven stars in his right hand, who is walking in the middle of the seven gold lights:

¹³ I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.

² I had a vision by night, and saw the four winds of heaven violently moving the great sea.

¹⁹ Then the secret was made clear to Daniel in a vision of the night. And Daniel gave blessing to the God of heaven.

¹ Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

² Why is your clothing red, and why are your robes like those of one who is crushing the grapes?

³ I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

⁴ For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.

¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

³ Put on your sword, make it ready at your side, O strong chief, with your glory and power.

⁴ And go nobly on in your power, because you are good and true and without pride; and your right hand will be teaching you things of fear.

¹³ In troubled thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep comes on men,

⁵ In Gibeon, Solomon had a vision of the Lord in a dream by night; and God said to him, Say what I am to give you.

¹³ Now when Joshua was near Jericho, lifting up his eyes he saw a man in front of him, with his sword uncovered in his hand: and Joshua went up to him and said, Are you for us or against us?

³ But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

² My loved one is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to take food in the gardens, and to get lilies.

¹⁶ My loved one is mine, and I am his: he takes his food among the flowers.
