John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 6:6

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. Ver. 6. In the midst ] The voice of the Lamb, Revelation 5:6 , who appoints and orders all; he cuts us out our several conditions, cautioning for the wine and oil, when other food faileth.

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Ver. 10.
