Revelation 9:15-21
15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were 1released, so that they would kill a 2third of 3mankind. 16The number of the armies of the horsemen was 4two hundred million; 5I heard the number of them. 17And 6this is how I saw 7in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of 89brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 10out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and 1112brimstone. 18A 13third of 14mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 15fire and the smoke and the 16brimstone 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.
20The rest of 17mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, 18did not repent of 19the works of their hands, so as not to 20worship demons, and 21the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21and they 22did not repent of their murders nor of their 23sorceries nor of their 24immorality nor of their thefts.
