10 But Elijah replied to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, (A)may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” (B)Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

11 So the king again sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty men. And he said to him, “You man of God, this is what the king says: ‘Come down quickly!’” 12 But Elijah replied to them, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” Then the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

17 And this is how I saw (A)in my vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire, of hyacinth, and of [a](B)brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and (C)out of their mouths *came fire and smoke and [b](D)brimstone. 18 A (E)third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the (F)fire, the smoke, and the [c]brimstone which came out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, (G)did not repent of (H)the works of their hands so as not to (I)worship demons and (J)the idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21 and they (K)did not repent of their murders, nor of their (L)witchcraft, nor of their (M)sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.

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.

20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent(F) of the work of their hands;(G) they did not stop worshiping demons,(H) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.(I) 21 Nor did they repent(J) of their murders, their magic arts,(K) their sexual immorality(L) or their thefts.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
