Revelation 6:5

When the Lamb broke the third seal, I heard the third creature [which had a face like a human being, see Rev 4:7] say: "Come!"
Then I looked (and I saw), and behold (an exhortation to pay attention to what follows): a black horse, and the one who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
