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.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 9 of Revelation. The sixth trumpet releases four angels bound near the great Euphrates River and leads to a gigantic army. Military language is mixed with monstrous images of horses whose riders produce fire, smoke, and sulfur. The number two hundred million emphasizes the extraordinary size of the army. The Euphrates recalls the eastern frontier associated with ancient enemies of Israel, but the text uses the image within a universal vision of judgment.

Und also sah ich die Rosse im Gesicht und die daraufsaßen, daß sie hatten feurige und bläuliche und schwefelige Panzer; und die Häupter der Rosse waren wie die Häupter der Löwen, und aus ihrem Munde ging Feuer und Rauch und Schwefel.
Y así vi los caballos en visión, y los que sobre ellos estaban sentados, los cuales tenían corazas de fuego, de jacinto, y de azufre. Y las cabezas de los caballos eran como cabezas de leones; y de la boca de ellos salía fuego y humo y azufre.
Así vi en la visión a los caballos y a sus jinetes: tenían corazas de color rojo fuego, azul oscuro y amarillo azufre. Las cabezas de los caballos eran como cabezas de leones, y de sus bocas salen fuego, humo y azufre.
Et ainsi je vis les chevaux dans la vision, et ceux qui les montaient, ayant des cuirasses couleur de feu, d'hyacinthe, et de soufre. Les têtes des chevaux étaient comme des têtes de lions; et de leurs bouches il sortait du feu, de la fumée, et du soufre.
Simigliantemente ancora vidi nella visione i cavalli, e quelli che li cavalcavano, i quali aveano degli usberghi di fuoco, di giacinto, e di zolfo; e le teste de’ cavalli erano come teste di leoni; e dalle bocche loro usciva fuoco, e fumo, e zolfo.
E assim vi os cavalos nesta visão; e os que sobre eles cavalgavam tinham couraças de fogo, e de jacinto, e de enxofre; e as cabeças dos cavalos eram como cabeças de leões; e de suas bocas saía fogo e fumaça e enxofre.
我在異象中看見那些馬和騎馬的:騎馬的穿著火紅、紫瑪瑙及硫磺色的胸甲;馬的頭好像獅子的頭,有火、有煙、有硫磺從馬的口中噴出來。
