Other Translations - Revelation
9:13-21:
The sixth angel blew his trumpet. Then I heard a voice coming from the horns
on the golden altar that is before God.
14The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Free the four angels
who are tied at the great river Euphrates."
15These four angels had been kept ready for this hour and day and month and
year. The angels were freed to kill one third of all the people on the earth.
16I heard how many troops on horses were in [their] army. There were
200,000,000.
17In my vision I saw the horses and the riders on the horses. 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.
18One third of all the people on earth were killed by these three bad things
coming out of the horses' mouths: the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur.
19The horses' power was in their mouths and also in their tails. Their tails
were like snakes that have heads to bite and hurt people.
20The other people [on the earth] were not killed by these bad things. But
these people still did not change their hearts and lives and turn away from the
things they had made with their own hands. They did not stop worshiping demons
and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood--things that cannot see
or hear or walk.
21These people did not change their hearts and lives and turn away from killing
other people. They did not turn away from their evil magic, their sexual sins,
and their stealing. (ERV)
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden
altar which is before God,14one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels
that are bound at the great river Euphrates.
15And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day
and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.
16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten
thousand: I heard the number of them.
17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having
breastplates (as) of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of
lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone.
18By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the
smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.
19For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their
tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt.
20And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not
of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols
of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can
neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
21and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts.

And 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.
20And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented
not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols
of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see,
nor hear, nor walk:
21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their
fornication, nor of their thefts.
