Cannot buy loaf of bread verse

[Debp]

Isn't there a verse, it might be in Revelation, about how people won't be able to buy even a loaf of bread.... meaning it will be so expensive.

Revelation 6:5-6 KJV
5) And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
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.

The KJV's "penny" is from denarius, a day's pay.

Then there is Larry Norman's version . . . children died, the days grew cold, a piece of bread could buy a bag of gold, I wish we'd all been ready!

Much love!

I found this: Don't know if it will help:

And every one who is left in your house shall come to implore him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread, and shall say, "Put me, I pray you, in one of the priest's places, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Samuel 2:36 RSV

I'm not sure what verse I'm thinking about.

In the late 1960s, 1970s...my grandma would talk about the Last Days and how it would be. I think she mentioned a verse that said it would be so expensive to even buy bread.

Larry Norman is a inspiration if you read his life story. He literally spent all he had feeding homeless and taking care of needy people until he died.
