Revelation 9

1 Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)

AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss of hell. (Abyssos g12)

2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

And he opened the pit of the abyss; and a smoke ascended out of the pit like the smoke of a vast furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given to them, such power as the scorpions of the earth possess.

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

And it was told them, Hurt not the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.

And it was given them in charge that they should not kill these men outright, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.

6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall earnestly desire to die, and death shall fly from them.

7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.

And the figures of the locusts were like horses equipped for war; and upon their heads there were as crowns, like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.

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

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

And they had breastplates, as breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings was as the rumbling of chariots of many horses rushing to battle.

10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.

And they had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and they had power to hurt men five months.

11 They were ruled by a king, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek it is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

And they had over them a king, the angel of the abyss of hell, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Appollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still to follow.

One woe is past; and, behold, there are coming yet two woes after these.

13 Then the sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a great voice from the four horns of the altar of gold which is before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel with the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”

saying to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 So the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind.

And the four angels were loosed, who were ready at the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the third part of mankind.

16 And the number of mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

And the number of the armies of cavalry was two myriads of myriads and I heard the number of them.

17 Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur.

And in this manner saw I the horses in the vision, and those who were mounted upon them, having breastplates of the colour of fire, and jacinth, and sulphur; and the horses’ heads were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths.

By these three were slain the third part of mankind, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.

For their powers are in their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.

20 Now the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk.

And the residue of mankind, who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of wood, and of stone: which can neither see nor hear, nor walk:

21 Furthermore, they did not repent of their murder, sorcery, sexual immorality, and theft.

and they repented not of their murders, nor of their magical arts, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
