Revelation 9:7-19

New International Version

⁷ The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.^(A) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.^{(B) 8} Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.^{(C) 9} They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.^{(D) 10} They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.^{(E) 11} They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss,^(F) whose name in Hebrew^(G) is Abaddon^(H) and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

¹² The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.^(I)

¹³ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns^(J) of the golden altar that is before God.^{(K) 14} It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels^(L) who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”^{(M) 15} And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released^(N) to kill a third^(O) of mankind.^{(P) 16} The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.^(Q)

¹⁷ The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths^(R) came fire, smoke and sulfur.^{(S) 18} A third^(T) of mankind was killed^(U) by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur^(V) that came out of their mouths. ¹⁹ The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
