Revelation 9:13-21

[13] And  the sixth  angel  sounded,  and  I heard  voice  from  the four  horns  of the golden  altar  which  is before  God,  [14] Saying  to the sixth  angel  had  the trumpet,  Loose  the four  angels  which  are bound  in  the great  river  Euphrates.  [15] And  the four  angels  were loosed,  which  were prepared  for  an hour,  and  a day,  and  a month,  and  a year,  for to  slay  the third part  of men.  [16] And  the number  of the army  of the horsemen  thousand  and  I heard  the number  of them.  [17] And  thus  the horses  in  the vision,  and  them that sat  on  them,  having  breastplates  of fire,  and  of jacinth,  and  brimstone:  and  the heads  of the horses  were as  the heads  of lions;  and  out of  their  mouths  issued  fire  and  smoke  and  brimstone.  [18] three  the third part  of men  killed,  by  the fire,  and  by  the smoke,  and  by  the brimstone,  which  issued  out of  their  mouths.  [19] For  their  power  in  their  mouth,  and  in  their  tails:  for  their  tails  were like  unto serpents,  and had  heads,  and  with  them  they do hurt.  [20] And  the rest  of the men  which  not  killed  by  plagues  repented  not  of  the works  of their  hands,  worship  devils,  and  idols  of gold,  and  silver,  and  brass,  and  stone,  and  of wood:  which  neither  can  see,  nor  hear,  nor  walk:  [21] Neither  repented they  of  their  murders,  nor  of  their  nor  of  their  fornication,  nor  of  their  thefts.
