Revelation 9:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible
19 The horses had great power in their mouths and in their tails. Their tails were like snakes, with heads that could hurt people very much.
20 But all the people that the fire, the smoke and the sulphur did not kill continued to do bad things. They did not change how they lived. They worshipped things that they had made for themselves. They worshipped demons and idols that they made from gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood. Those idols cannot see anything or hear anything. They cannot walk anywhere. But the people continued to worship them. 21 They were not sorry that they murdered other people. They were not sorry that they used magic to hurt people. They continued to have sex with people in wrong ways. They continued to rob other people. They did not want to change the way that they lived.[a]

- 9:21 This chapter tells us that a lot of pain will come to many people on the earth. Many people will die in pain because they are not sorry for their sins. They do not turn to God. Instead, they enjoy doing what is bad. They do not want to obey God, so God will punish them.
Revelation 9:19-21
New International Version
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(A) of the work of their hands;(B) they did not stop worshiping demons,(C) and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.(D) 21 Nor did they repent(E) of their murders, their magic arts,(F) their sexual immorality(G) or their thefts.
