Revelation 9

1And the fifthG3991 angelG32 soundedG4537, and I sawG3708 a starG792 from heavenG3772 fallenG4098 unto the earthG1093: and there was givenG1325 to him the keyG2807 of the pitG5421 of the abyssG12. 2And he openedG455 the pitG5421 of the abyssG12; and there wentG305 up a smokeG2586 out of the pitG5421, as the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575; and the sunG2246 and the airG109 were darkenedG4656 by reason of the smokeG2586 of the pitG5421. 3And out of the smokeG2586 cameG1831 forthG1831 locustsG200 upon the earthG1093; and powerG1849 was givenG1325 them, as the scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 have powerG1849. 4And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grassG5528 of the earthG1093, neither any greenG5515 thing, neither any treeG1186, but onlyG1487 such menG444 as have not the sealG4973 of GodG2316 on their foreheadsG3359. 5And it was givenG1325 them that they should not killG615 them, but that they should be tormentedG928 fiveG4002 monthsG3376: and their tormentG929 was as the tormentG929 of a scorpionG4651, whenG3752 it striketh a manG444. 6And in those daysG2250 menG444 shall seekG2212 deathG2288, and shall in no wise findG2147 it; and they shall desireG1937 to dieG599, and deathG2288 fleeth from them. 7And the shapes of the locustsG200 were like unto horsesG2462 preparedG2090 for warG4171; and upon their headsG2776 as it were crownsG4735 like unto goldG5557, and their facesG4383 were as men’sG444 facesG4383. 8And they had hairG2359 as the hairG2359 of womenG1135, and their teethG3599 wereG1510 as the teethG3599 of lionsG3023. 9And they had breastplatesG2382, as it were breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; and the soundG5456 of their wingsG4420 was as the soundG5456 of chariotsG716, of manyG4183 horsesG2462 rushing to warG4171. 10And they have tailsG3769 like unto scorpionsG4651, and stingsG2759; and in their tailsG3769 is their powerG1849 to hurt menG444 fiveG4002 monthsG3376. 11They have over them as kingG935 the angelG32 of the abyssG12: his nameG3686 in HebrewG1447 is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the nameG3686 Apollyon.

12The firstG1520 WoeG3759 is past: beholdG2400, there comeG2064 yetG2089 twoG1417 WoesG3759 hereafter.

13And the sixthG1623 angelG32 soundedG4537, and I heardG191 a voiceG5456 from the hornsG2768 of the goldenG5552 altarG2379 which is before GodG2316, 14oneG3588 sayingG3004 to the sixthG1623 angelG32 that had the trumpetG4536, LooseG3089 the fourG5064 angelsG32 that are boundG1210 at the greatG3173 riverG4215 EuphratesG2166. 15And the fourG5064 angelsG32 were loosedG3089, that had been preparedG2090 for the hourG5610 and dayG2250 and monthG3376 and yearG1763, that they should killG615 the thirdG5154 part of menG444. 16And the numberG706 of the armiesG4753 of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heardG191 the numberG706 of them. 17And thusG3779 I sawG3708 the horsesG2462 in the vision, and them that satG2521 on them, having breastplatesG2382 as of fireG4442 and of hyacinth and of brimstoneG2303: and the headsG2776 of the horsesG2462 are as the headsG2776 of lionsG3023; and out of their mouthsG4750 proceedeth fireG4442 and smokeG2586 and brimstoneG2303. 18By these threeG5140 plaguesG4127 was the thirdG5154 part of menG444 killedG615, by the fireG4442 and the smokeG2586 and the brimstoneG2303, which proceeded out of their mouthsG4750. 19For the powerG1849 of the horsesG2462 isG1510 in their mouthG4750, and in their tailsG3769: for their tailsG3769 areG1510 like unto serpentsG3789, and have headsG2776; and with them they hurt. 20And the restG3062 of mankind, who were not killedG615 with these plaguesG4127, repentedG3340 not of the worksG2041 of their handsG5495, that they should not worshipG4352 demonsG1140, and the idolsG1497 of gold, and of silverG693, and of brass, and of stoneG3035, and of wood; which can neither seeG991, nor hearG191, nor walkG4043: 21and they repentedG3340 not of their murdersG5408, nor of their sorceriesG5331, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
