Revelation 9:9-17
New King James Version
9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was (A)like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. 10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. 11 And they had as king over them (B)the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is [a]Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name [b]Apollyon.
12 (C)One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates
13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the (D)golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound (E)at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a (F)third of mankind. 16 Now (G)the number of the army (H)of the horsemen was two hundred million; (I)I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; (J)and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
