13 The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God.
14 The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are tied at the great river Euphrates.”
15 These four angels had been kept ready for this hour and day and month and year. They were freed to kill a third of all people on the earth.
16 I heard how many troops on horses were in their army. There were 200,000,000.
17 In my vision I saw the horses and their riders. They looked like this: They had breastplates that were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow like sulfur. The heads of the horses looked like heads of lions. The horses had fire, smoke, and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
18 A third of all the people on earth were killed by these three terrible things coming out of the horses’ mouths: the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur.
19 The horses’ power was in their mouths and also in their tails. Their tails were like snakes that have heads to bite and hurt people.
