Revelation 9:7-19

⁷And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.

⁸They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.

⁹They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

¹⁰They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

¹¹They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon.

¹²The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

¹³Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

¹⁴saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

¹⁵So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

¹⁶And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

¹⁷Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.

¹⁸A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.

¹⁹For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.
