Revelation 9:11-19
New American Standard Bible
13Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.'
15And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind.
16The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.
17And this is how I saw in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths *came fire and smoke and brimstone.
18A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire, the smoke, and the brimstone which came out of their mouths.
19For 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.
King James Version
13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

13The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four horns of the golden altar that is before God, I heard a voice
14say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates."
15So the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of the human race.
16The number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.
17This 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.
18A third of the human race was killed by these three plagues—by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came from their mouths.
19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails, which resemble snakes, have heads that inflict injury.

18One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues — by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.
