Revelation 9:1-14
1ThenG2532 theG3588 fifthG3991 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 I sawG3708 a starG792 that had fallenG4098 fromG1537 heavenG3772 toG1519 earthG1093, andG2532 it was givenG1325 theG3588 keyG2807 to theG3588 pitG5421 of theG3588 AbyssG12. 2The star openedG455 theG3588 pitG5421 of theG3588 AbyssG12, andG2532 smokeG2586 roseG305 out ofG1537 it likeG5613 the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575, andG2532 theG3588 sunG2246 andG2532 theG3588 airG109 were darkenedG4656 byG1537 theG3588 smokeG2586 from theG3588 pitG5421.
3AndG2532 out ofG1537 theG3588 smokeG2586, locustsG200 descended onG1831G1519 theG3588 earthG1093, andG2532 theyG846 were givenG1325 powerG1849 likeG5613 that of theG3588 scorpionsG4651 of theG3588 earthG1093. 4TheyG846 were toldG2046 notG3361 to harmG91 theG3588 grassG5528 of theG3588 earthG1093 or anyG3956 plantG5515 or treeG1186, but onlyG1487G3361 thoseG3588G444 whoG3748 did not haveG3756G2192 theG3588 sealG4973 of GodG2316 onG1909 their foreheadsG3359. 5The locusts were not given powerG1325G3361 toG2443 killG615 themG846, but onlyG235 toG2443 tormentG928 them for fiveG4002 monthsG3376, andG2532 theirG846 tormentG929 was likeG5613 the stingingG3752G3817 of a scorpionG4651. 6InG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 menG444 will seekG2212 deathG2288 andG2532 will not findG3756G3361G2147 itG846; they will longG1937 to dieG599, but deathG2288 will escapeG5343G575 themG846.
7AndG2532 theG3588 locustsG200 lookedG3667 likeG3664 horsesG2462 preparedG2090 forG1519 battleG4171, with something likeG3664 crownsG4735 of goldG5557 onG1909 theirG846 headsG2776; andG2532 theirG846 facesG4383 were likeG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444. 8They hadG2192 hairG2359 likeG5613 that of womenG1135, andG2532 teethG3599 likeG5613 those of lionsG3023. 9They also hadG2532G2192 breastplatesG2382 likeG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603, andG2532 theG3588 soundG5456 ofG3588 theirG846 wingsG4420 was likeG5613 the roarG5456 of manyG4183 horsesG2462 and chariotsG716 rushingG5143 intoG1519 battleG4171. 10They hadG2192 tailsG3769 withG2532 stingersG2759 likeG3664 scorpionsG4651, which hadG846 theG3588 powerG1849 to injureG91 peopleG444 for fiveG4002 monthsG3376. 11They were ruled byG2192G1909G846 a kingG935, theG3588 angelG32 of theG3588 AbyssG12. HisG846 nameG3686 in HebrewG1447 is AbaddonG3,1 andG2532 inG1722 GreekG1673 it is ApollyonG623.2
12TheG3588 firstG1520 woeG3759 has passedG565. BeholdG2400, twoG1417 woesG3759 are stillG2089 to followG2064G3326G3778.
13ThenG2532 theG3588 sixthG1623 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 I heardG191 aG1520 voiceG5456 fromG1537 theG3588 fourG5064 hornsG2768 of theG3588 goldenG5552 altarG2379 beforeG1799 GodG2316 14sayingG3004 to theG3588 sixthG1623 angelG32 withG2192 theG3588 trumpetG4536, “ReleaseG3089 theG3588 fourG5064 angelsG32 whoG3588 are boundG1210 atG1909 theG3588 greatG3173 riverG4215 EuphratesG2166.”
