What is the meaning of Revelation 6:6?

* The two F.O.G. Bibles and Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

And I heard what sounded like a voice from among the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius, and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and do not harm the oil and wine.”

World English Bible (WEB)

I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenix of barley for a denarius! Don’t damage the oil and the wine!”

Strong's King James

And{G2532} I heard{G191}{(G5656)} a voice{G5456} in{G1722} the midst{G3319} of the four{G5064} beasts{G2226} say{G3004}{(G5723)}, A measure{G5518} of wheat{G4621} for a penny{G1220}, and{G2532} three{G5140} measures{G5518} of barley{G2915} for a penny{G1220}; and{G2532} see thou hurt{G91}{(G5661)} not{G3361} the oil{G1637} and{G2532} the wine{G3631}.

The F.O.G *

(6) I heard as a voice in the middle of the four living-creatures say, "A quart of wheat (daily bread ration) for a denarius (day wage) and three quarts of barley for a denarius. Don't harm the oil and the wine!"

The F.O.G Message *

[6] Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures announce, "A day's wages for a mere quart of wheat, and the same for three quarts of barley, but do not damage the oil and wine!" - revealing economic crisis where basic necessities become luxuries.

Young's Literal Translation

and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, ‘A measure of wheat for a denary, and three measures of barley for a denary,’ and ‘The oil and the wine thou mayest not injure.’
