Verse 18 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.

Von diesen drei Plagen ward getötet der dritte Teil der Menschen, von dem Feuer und Rauch und Schwefel, der aus ihrem Munde ging.
De estas tres plagas fue muerta la tercera parte de los hombres: del fuego, y del humo, y del azufre, que salían de la boca de ellos.
La tercera parte de la humanidad murió por estas tres plagas: por el fuego, el humo y el azufre que salían de sus bocas.
Le tiers des hommes fut tué par ces trois fléaux, par le feu, par la fumée, et par le soufre, qui sortaient de leurs bouches.
Da queste tre piaghe: dal fuoco, dal fumo, e dallo zolfo, che usciva delle bocche loro, fu uccisa la terza parte degli uomini.
Por estes três foi morta a terça parte dos homens, isto é pelo fogo, pela fumaça, e pelo enxofre, que saíam das suas bocas.
