15 So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number. 17 Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.

13 Look at your troops— they are like your women! The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire consumes their bars. 14 Draw your water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Work the clay and tread the mortar; repair the brick kiln! 15 There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down and consume you like a young locust. Make yourself many like the young locust; make yourself many like the swarming locust! 16 You have multiplied your merchants more than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away. 17 Your guards are like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts that settle on the walls on a cold day. When the sun rises, they fly away, and no one knows where.

(WEB) 17 For, what was most marvelous, in the water which quenches all things, the fire burned hotter; for the world fights for the righteous. (WEB) 18 For at one time the flame was restrained, that it might not burn up the creatures sent against the ungodly, but that these themselves as they looked might see that they were chased by the judgment of God. (WEB) 19 At another time even in the midst of water it burns more intensely than fire, that it may destroy the produce of an unrighteous land. (WEB) 20 Instead of these things, you gave your people angels’ food to eat, and you provided ready-to-eat bread for them from heaven without toil, having the virtue of every pleasant flavor, and agreeable to every taste. (WEB) 21 For your nature showed your sweetness toward your children, while that bread, serving the desire of the eater, changed itself according to every man’s choice. (WEB) 22 But snow and ice endured fire, and didn’t melt, that people might know that fire was destroying the fruits of the enemies, burning in the hail and flashing in the rains; (WEB) 23 and that this fire, again, in order that righteous people may be nourished, has even forgotten its own power.
