The sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became as blood. | 12 And I saw when it opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as hair sackcloth, and the whole moon became as blood, | 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. | 13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. | 13 The stars fell from the sky to the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when it is shaken by a strong wind. | 13 The stars of the sky fell to the earth, like a fig tree dropping its unripe figs when it is shaken by a great wind. | 13 and the stars of heaven fell upon the earth, as a fig tree, shaken by a great wind, casts its unseasonable figs. | 14 The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. | 14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. | 14 The sky vanished like a scroll being rolled up. Every mountain and island was moved from its place. | 14 The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places. | 14 And the heaven was removed as a book rolled up, and every mountain and island were removed out of their places. | 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains; | 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; | 15 Then the kings of the earth, the important people, the generals, the rich, the powerful, and all the slaves and free people hid themselves in caves and among the rocks in the mountains. | 15 The kings of the earth, the princes, the commanding officers, the rich, the strong, and every slave and free person, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains. | 15 And the kings of the earth, and the great, and the chiliarchs, and the rich, and the strong, and every bondman and freeman, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains; | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
