Revelation 9

1And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss.

1And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep.

2And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.

2And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.

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

3And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

4and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal ofGod on their foreheads:

4And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.

5and it was given to 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 strikes a man.

5And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.

6And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.

6And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

7And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;

7And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,

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

9and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;

9And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight.

10and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.

10And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.

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

11They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon.

12The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.

12The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come.

13And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] beforeGod,

13And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God,

14saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.

14Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates.

15And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;

15And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.

16and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.

16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears.

17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.

17And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning.

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

18By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.

19For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure.

19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds.

20And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.

20And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking:

21And they repented not of their murders, nor of their witchcrafts, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

21And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.
