¹⁰ Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire^(A) fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.

¹¹ At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”

¹² “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

¹⁴ Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says:

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.
