Revelation 9:17-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
17 And I saw the horses and the ones sitting on them in the vision as follows— having[a] breastplates [the color] of-fire and of-hyacinth[b] and of-sulphur. And the heads of the horses are like heads of lions. And fire and smoke and sulphur is coming-out of their mouths. 18 A third of mankind were killed from these three plagues— by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur coming-out of their mouths. 19 For the authority of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails. For their tails are like snakes, having heads, and with them they do harm.

Revelation 9:17-19
New International Version
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths(A) came fire, smoke and sulfur.(B) 18 A third(C) of mankind was killed(D) by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur(E) that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
