¹³And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God, ¹⁴saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, ‘Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;’ ¹⁵and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men; ¹⁶and the number of the forces of the horsemen is two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them. ¹⁷And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses are as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone; ¹⁸by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth, ¹⁹for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure; ²⁰and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk, ²¹yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
