Revelation of John 9:12-21

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

13Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from bthe four horns of the golden altar before God, 14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release cthe four angels who are bound at dthe great river Euphrates.” 15So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released eto kill a third of mankind. 16The number of fmounted troops was gtwice ten thousand times ten thousand; hI heard their number. 17And 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 jlike lionsheads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.
18By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19For 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.

20The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, kdid not repent of lthe works of their hands nor give up worshiping mdemons nand idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21nor did they repent of their murders or their osorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
