Revelation 9:14-21

14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the 1four angels who are bound at the 2great river Euphrates.” 15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were 3released, so that they would kill a 4third of mankind. 16The number of the armies of the horsemen was 5two hundred million; 6I heard the number of them. 17And this is how I saw 7in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of 89brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 10out of their mouths came fire and smoke and 1112brimstone. 18A 13third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 14fire, the smoke, and the 15brimstone 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.

20The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, 16did not repent of 17the works of their hands so as not to 18worship demons and 19the idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21and they 20did not repent of their murders, nor of their 21witchcraft, nor of their 22sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
