Revelation 9:17-21
17And 1this is how I saw 2in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of 34brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 5out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and 67brimstone. 18A 8third of 9mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 10fire and the smoke and the 11brimstone 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 12mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, 13did not repent of 14the works of their hands, so as not to 15worship demons, and 16the 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 17did not repent of their murders nor of their 18sorceries nor of their 19immorality nor of their thefts.
