13. When the sixth angel blew his trumpet, I heard a voice from the four horns of the gold altar in front of God.
14. The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are held at the great Euphrates River.”
15. The four angels who were ready for that hour, day, month, and year were released to kill one-third of humanity.
16. The soldiers on horses numbered 20,000 times 10,000. I heard how many there were.
17. In the vision that I had, the horses and their riders looked like this: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, pale blue, and yellow. The horses had heads like lions. Fire, smoke, and sulfur came out of their mouths.
18. These three plagues—the fire, smoke, and sulfur which came out of their mouths—killed one-third of humanity.
