- I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
- Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
- And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

- I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel and white horses behind him.
- Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are."
- And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth."
