Revelation 9:12-19

12 1The first woe has passed; 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, 14saying 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 mankind. 16The number of the armies of the horsemen was 10two hundred million; 11I heard the number of them. 17And this is how I saw 12in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of 13 14brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 15out of their mouths came fire and smoke and 16 17brimstone. 18A 18third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 19fire, the smoke, and the 20brimstone 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.
