Revelation 9:1-7
1ThenG2532 the 1fifthG3991 angelG32 soundedG4537, and I sawG3708 a 2starG792 from heavenG3772 which had fallenG4098 to the earthG1093; and the 3keyG2807 of the 45bottomlessG12 pitG5421 was givenG1325 to him. 2He openedG455 the 6bottomlessG12 pitG5421, and 7smokeG2586 wentG305 up out of the pitG5421, likeG5613 the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575; and 8the sunG2246 and the airG109 were darkenedG4656 by the smokeG2586 of the pitG5421. 3ThenG2532 out of the smokeG2586 cameG1831 9locustsG200 10upon the earthG1093, and powerG1849 was givenG1325 them, as the 11scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 haveG2192 powerG1849. 4They were toldG3004 not to 12hurtG91 the 13grassG5528 of the earthG1093, norG3761 anyG3956 greenG5515 thingG5515, norG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186, but onlyG1487G3361 the menG444 whoG3748 do not haveG2192 the 14sealG4973 of GodG2316 on their foreheadsG3359. 5And 15they were not permittedG1325 to killG615 16anyoneG846, but to tormentG928 for 17fiveG4002 monthsG3376; and their tormentG929 was likeG5613 the tormentG929 of a 18scorpionG4651 whenG3752 it 19stingsG3817 a manG444. 6And in thoseG1565 daysG2250 20menG444 will seekG2212 deathG2288 and will not findG2147 it; they will longG1937 to dieG599, and deathG2288 fleesG5343 from them.
7The 2122appearanceG3667 of the locustsG200 was likeG3664 horsesG2462 preparedG2090 for battleG4171; and on their headsG2776 appearedG5613 to be crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, and their facesG4383 were likeG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444.
