| 17 | And 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. | Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. | And 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 the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. |

AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 9:13-21The sixth trumpet: the army from Euphrates
About Revelation 9At the fifth trumpet a star falls from heaven, and "to him was given the key of the bottomless pit"; locusts come out to torment "only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads," so that "men seek death, and shall not find it." Their king "is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." At the sixth trumpet four angels bound "in the great river Euphrates" are loosed, an army of "two hundred thousand thousand" kills a third of men, and yet the rest "repented not of the works of their hands."
