Revelation 9:13-21
World English Bible
13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”
15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind. 16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million.[a] I heard the number of them. 17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the horses’ heads resembled lions’ heads. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18 By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded 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, and have heads, and with them they harm. 20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn’t repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn’t worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can’t see, hear, or walk. 21 They didn’t repent of their murders, their sorceries,[b] their sexual immorality, or their thefts.

The Sixth Trumpet
13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four[a] horns of the golden altar(A) that is before God, I heard a voice 14 say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels(B) bound at the great river Euphrates.”(C) 15 So the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month, and year(D) were released to kill a third(E) of the human race. 16 The number of mounted troops was two hundred million;[b] I heard their number. 17 This is how I saw the horses and their riders in the vision: They had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.(F) 18 A third of the human race was killed by these three plagues—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came from their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails, which resemble snakes, have heads that inflict injury.
20 The rest of the people, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands(G) to stop worshiping demons(H) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood,(I) which cannot see, hear, or walk.(J) 21 And they did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts.
