Revelation 9:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 Now in my vision this is how I saw the horses and their riders. They wore red, blue, and yellow breastplates,[a] and the horses’ heads were like heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.(A) 18 By these three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that came out of their mouths a third of the human race was killed. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like snakes, with heads that inflict harm.
