Rev 9


9:1 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.

9:2 When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss.

9:3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.

9:4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

9:5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

9:6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

9:7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.

9:8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.

9:9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

9:10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.

9:11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.

9:12 The first woe is past; two other woes are yet to come.

9:13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns of the golden altar that is before God.

9:14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

9:15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

9:16 The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.

9:17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur.

9:18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.

9:19 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.

9:20 The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood–idols that cannot see or hear or walk.

9:21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

9:1 And the fifth angel trumpeted, and I saw a star out of heaven fallen to the earth, and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss.

9:2 And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.

9:3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and to them power was given, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

9:4 And it was said to them that they should not harm the grass of the earth or any green thing or any tree, but men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

9:5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

9:6 And in those days men will seek death and shall by no means find it; and they will long to die, and death flees from them.

9:7 And the locusts were like horses prepared for war, and on their heads there were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were like faces of men.

9:8 And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9:9 And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots of many horses rushing into war.

9:10 And they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to harm men for five months.

9:11 They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon; and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

9:12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are yet coming after these things.

9:13 And the sixth angel trumpeted, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the golden altar which is before God

9:14 Saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.

9:15 And the four angels were released, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year that they might kill the third part of men.

9:16 And the number of the armies of horsemen was two hundred million; I heard their number.

9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision and those sitting on them, having breastplates of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone.

9:18 By these three plagues the third part of the men were killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone proceeding out of their mouths.

9:19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they harm men.

9:20 And the rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship the demons and the idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk;

9:21 And they did not repent of their murders or of their sorceries or of their fornication or of their thefts.
