Strongs On/Off
Context
9:13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet , and I heard a single voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God ,
9:14 saying to the sixth angel , the one holding the trumpet , “Set free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates !”
9:15 Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour , day , month , and year were set free to kill a third of humanity .
9:16 The number of soldiers on horseback was two hundred million ; I heard their number .
9:17 Now this is what the horses and their riders looked like in my vision : The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, dark blue , and sulfurous yellow in color. The heads of the horses looked like lions ’ heads , and fire , smoke , and sulfur came out of their mouths .
9:18 A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues , that is, by the fire , the smoke , and the sulfur that came out of their mouths .
9:19 For the power of the horses resides in their mouths and in their tails , because their tails are like snakes , having heads that inflict injuries .
9:20 The rest of humanity , who had not been killed by these plagues , did not repent of the works of their hands , so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols made of gold , silver , bronze , stone , and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk about.
9:21 Furthermore , they did not repent of their murders , of their magic spells , of their sexual immorality , or of their stealing .
