Revelation of John 9:11-21

11 They have ^aas king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is ^bAbaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. ^{▼▼ Abaddon means destruction; Apollyon means destroyer}

12 ^dThe first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from ^ethe four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release ^fthe four angels who are bound at ^gthe great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released ^hto kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of ⁱmounted troops was ^jtwice ten thousand times ten thousand; ^kI 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 sapphire ^{▼▼Greek hyacinth} and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were ^mlike 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, ⁿdid not repent of ^othe works of their hands nor give up worshiping ^pdemons ^qand idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their ^rsorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
