18. A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths.
19. For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm.
20. The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to 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;
21. and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.
