9:17 Now ⁶  this is what the horses and their riders ⁷  looked like in my ⁸  vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red, ⁹  dark blue, ¹⁰  and sulfurous ¹¹  yellow in color. ¹²  The ¹³  heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads, and fire, smoke, and sulfur ¹⁴  came out of their mouths.
