Revelation 9

1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss.2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces.8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as teeth of lions.9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,14 one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them.17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone.18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt.20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

Revelation 9

1 Thent the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the skyt to the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.t2 Het opened the shaft of the abyss and smoke rose out of itt like smoke from a giant furnace. Thet sun and the air were darkened with smoke from the shaft.3 Thent out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and they were given powert like that of the scorpions of the earth.4 Theyt were toldt not to damage the grass of the earth, or any green plant or tree, but only those peoplet who did not have the seal of God on theirt forehead.5 The locustst were not given permissiont to killt them, but only to torturet themt for five months, and their torture was like thatt of a scorpion when it stings a person.t

6 Int those days peoplet will seek death, butt will not be able tot find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7 Nowt the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. Ont their heads were something like crowns similar to gold,t and their faces looked like men’st faces.8 Theyt had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.9 They had breastplatest like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots charging into battle.10 They havet tails and stingers like scorpions, and their abilityt to injure people for five months is in their tails.

11 They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.s

12 The first woe has passed, butt two woes are still coming after these things!
13 Thent the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a single voice coming from thes horns on the golden altar that is before God,14 saying to the sixth angel, the one holdingt the trumpet, “Set freet the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!”15 Thent the four angels who had been prepared for thist hour, day,t month, and year were set free to killt a third of humanity.16 Thet number of soldiers on horseback was two hundred million;t I heard their number.17 Nowt this is what the horses and their riderst looked like in myt vision: The riders had breastplates that were fiery red,t dark blue,t and sulfuroust yellow in color.s Thet heads of the horses looked like lions’ heads, and fire, smoke, and sulfurt came out of their mouths.18 A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues, that is,t by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths.19 For the powert of the horses residest in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads that inflict injuries.20 The rest of humanity, who had not been killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so that they did not stop worshiping demons and idols madet of gold, silver,t bronze, stone, and wood – idols that cannot see or hear or walk about.

21 Furthermore,t they did not repent of their murders, of their magic spells,t of their sexual immorality, or of their stealing.
