of the four
horns of the golden altar which is before God, (14)saying to the sixth
angel who had the trumpet: Loose the four angels who are bound, by the
great river Euphrates. (15)And the four angels were loosed, who had
been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they
may slay the third part of men. (16)And the number of the armies of
the horsemen was two hundred thousand thousand. I heard the number of
them.

(17)And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on
them, having breastplates of fire, and of hyacinth, and like
brimstone; and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions, and
out of their mouths issue fire, and smoke, and brimstone. (18)By these
three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the
smoke, and the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. (19)For
the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails; for
their tails are like to serpents, having heads, and with them they do
hurt. (20)And the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues,
repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship
demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone,
and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk; (21)and they
repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts.

left upon the land; (3)and he cried with a loud voice, as a lion
roars; and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
(4)And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; and I
heard a voice out of heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the
seven thunders spoke, and write them not. (5)And the angel, whom I saw
standing upon the sea and upon the land, lifted up his right hand to
heaven, (6)and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created
heaven and the things therein, and the earth and the things therein,
and the sea and the things therein, that there shall be time[10:6] no
longer; (7)but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
is about to sound, then is the mystery of God finished, as he gave the
joyful message to his servants the prophets.
