A thirdof mankindwas killedby thesethreeplagues,by the fireand the smokeand the brimstonewhich proceededout of their mouths.
The thirdangelsounded,and a greatstarfellfrom heaven,burninglikea torch,and it fellon a thirdof the riversand on the springsof waters.
The nameof the staris calledWormwood;and a thirdof the watersbecamewormwood,and manymendiedfrom the waters,becausethey were made bitter.
The fourthangelsounded,and a thirdof the sunand a thirdof the moonand a thirdof the starswere struck,sothat a thirdof them would be darkenedand the daywould not shinefor a thirdof it, and the nightin the same way.
The firstsounded,and there camehailand fire,mixedwith blood,and they were thrownto the earth;and a thirdof the earthwas burnedup, and a thirdof the treeswere burnedup, and allthe greengrasswas burnedup.
The secondangelsounded,and [something] likea greatmountainburningwith firewas throwninto the sea;and a thirdof the seabecameblood,
and a thirdof the creatureswhichwere in the seaand hadlife,died;and a thirdof the shipswere destroyed.
And the fourangels,who had been preparedfor the hourand dayand monthand year,were released,sothat they would killa thirdof mankind.
And this is howI sawin the visionthe horsesand thosewho saton them: [the riders] hadbreastplates[the color] of fireand of hyacinthand of brimstone;and the headsof the horsesare likethe headsof lions;and out of their mouthsproceedfireand smokeand brimstone.
For the powerof the horsesis in their mouthsand in their tails;for their tailsare likeserpentsand haveheads,and with them they do harm.
