Revelation 9:10-19

10They have tails like 1scorpions, and stings; and in their 2tails is their power to hurt people for 3five months. 11They have as king over them, the angel of the 4abyss; his name in 5Hebrew is 6 7Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name 8Apollyon.

12 9The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.

13Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard 10a voice from the 11four 12horns of the 13golden altar which is before God, 14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 14four angels who are bound at the 15great river Euphrates.” 15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were 16released, so that they would kill a 17third of mankind. 16The number of the armies of the horsemen was 18two hundred million; 19I heard the number of them. 17And this is how I saw 20in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of 21 22brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 23out of their mouths came fire and smoke and 24 25brimstone. 18A 26third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 27fire, the smoke, and the 28brimstone which came 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.
