And, the sixth messenger, sounded; and I heard one voice, from among the horns of the altar of gold which is before God,

saying unto the sixth messenger, who was holding the trumpet - Loose the four messengers, who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

And the four messengers were loosed, who had been prepared for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should slay the third of men.

And, the number of the armies of the horsemen, was twice ten thousand times ten thousand - I heard the number of them.

And, thus, saw I the horses in the vision, - and them who were sitting upon them, having breastplates as of fire and hyacinth and brimstone; - and, the heads of the horses, were as heads of lions, and, out of their mouths, come forth fire and smoke and brimstone:

by these three plagues, were slain, the third part of mankind, by reason of the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, that proceedeth out of their mouths;

for, the licence of the horses, is, in their mouth, and in their tails, for, their tails, are like unto serpents, having heads, and, with them, they injure.

And, the rest of mankind who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, - that they should not do homage unto the demons, nor unto the idols of gold and of silver and of copper and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

Neither repented they of their murders, or of their sorceries, or of their lewdnesses, or of their thefts.
