Revelation 9:12-19

12The first catastrophe is over. After these things there are two more catastrophes yet to come.

13When the sixth angel blew his trumpet, I heard a voice from the four horns of the gold altar in front of God.

14The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are held at the great Euphrates River.”

15The four angels who were ready for that hour, day, month, and year were released to kill one-third of humanity.

16The soldiers on horses numbered 20,000 times 10,000. I heard how many there were.

17In the vision that I had, the horses and their riders looked like this: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, pale blue, and yellow. The horses had heads like lions. Fire, smoke, and sulfur came out of their mouths.

18These three plagues—the fire, smoke, and sulfur which came out of their mouths—killed one-third of humanity.

19The power of these horses is in their mouths and their tails. (Their tails have heads like snakes which they use to hurt people.)
