Revelation 9:12-19
121The first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.
13Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard 2a voice from the 3four 4horns of the 5golden altar which is before God, 14one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 6four angels who are bound at the 7great river Euphrates.” 15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were 8released, so that they would kill a 9third of 10mankind. 16The number of the armies of the horsemen was 11two hundred million; 12I heard the number of them. 17And 13this is how I saw 14in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of 1516brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 17out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and 1819brimstone. 18A 20third of 21mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 22fire and the smoke and the 23brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths. 19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm.
