Revelation 9:17-21

17And this is how I saw 1in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of 2 3brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and 4out of their mouths came fire and smoke and 5 6brimstone. 18A 7third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the 8fire, the smoke, and the 9brimstone 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, 10did not repent of 11the works of their hands so as not to 12worship demons and 13the idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21and they 14did not repent of their murders, nor of their 15witchcraft, nor of their 16sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
