Revelation 9:9–17

9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the asound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle.

10 They have tails like ascorpions, and stings; and in their btails is their power to hurt men for cfive months.

11 They have as king over them, the angel of the aabyss; his name in bHebrew is 1cAbaddon, and in the Greek he has the name 2Apollyon.

12 aThe first woe is past; behold, two woes are still coming after these things.

The Sixth Trumpet—Army from the East

13 Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard 1a voice from the 2four ahorns of the bgolden altar which is before God,

14 one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the afour angels who are bound at the bgreat river Euphrates.”

15 And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were areleased, so that they would kill a bthird of 1mankind.

16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was atwo hundred million; bI heard the number of them.

17 And 1this is how I saw ain the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of 2bbrimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and cout of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and 2bbrimstone.
