Revelation 9:13-19

New American Standard Bible

The Sixth Trumpet: Army from the East

¹³ Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard ^[a]a voice from the ^[b]four ^(A)horns of the ^(B)golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the ^(C)four angels who are bound at the ^(D)great river Euphrates.” ¹⁵ And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were ^(E)released, so that they would kill a ^(F)third of mankind. ¹⁶ The number of the armies of the horsemen was ^(G)two hundred million; ^(H)I heard the number of them. ¹⁷ And this is how I saw ^(I)in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of ^[c](J)brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and ^(K)out of their mouths *came fire and smoke and ^[d](L)brimstone. ¹⁸ A ^(M)third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the ^(N)fire, the smoke, and the ^[e]brimstone which came 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 do harm.
