Revelation 9:7-19

Williams(i) 7 The locusts look like horses armed for battle; on their heads were what appeared to be crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces; 8 they had hair that looked like women's hair; their teeth were like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates that seemed to be made of steel; the noise of their wings was like the noise of vast numbers of chariots and horses rushing into battle; 10 they had tails like scorpions with stings in them, so in their tails their power lay to injure men for five months. 11 They had over them as king the angel of the abyss; in Hebrew he is called Abaddon, in Greek, Apollyon. 12 The first woe is past. See! Two other woes are yet to come. 13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the corners of the altar of gold that was before God 14 say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet: "Turn loose the four angels that are bound at the river Euphrates." 15 Then the four angels that were kept in readiness for that hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of mankind. 16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard their number. 17 In my vision the horses and the horsemen looked like this: Their breastplates were red, blue, and yellow; the horses' heads were like lions' heads, and fire, smoke, and sulphur kept pouring out of their mouths. 18 One-third of mankind was killed by these three plagues: the fire, smoke, and sulphur that kept pouring out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses lay in their mouths and their tails; their tails were like snakes, and they had heads with which they injured people.
