Revelation 9:13-20


13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from athe four horns of the golden altar before God,
14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release athe four angels who are bound at bthe great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released ato kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of amounted troops was btwice ten thousand times ten thousand; cI heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire1 and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were alike lions’ heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.
20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, adid not repent of bthe works of their hands nor give up worshiping cdemons dand idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,
