Revelation 9
1AndG2532 the fifthG3588G3991 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 I sawG3708 a starG792 fallG4098 fromG1537 heavenG3588G3772 untoG1519 the earthG3588G1093: andG2532 to himG846 was givenG1325 the keyG3588G2807 of the bottomlessG3588G12 pitG3588G5421.
2AndG2532 he openedG455 the bottomlessG3588G12 pitG3588G5421; andG2532 there aroseG305 a smokeG2586 outG1537 of the pitG3588G5421, asG5613 the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575; andG2532 the sunG3588G2246 andG2532 the airG3588G109 were darkenedG4654 by reasonG1537 of the smokeG3588G2586 of the pitG3588G5421. 3AndG2532 there cameG1831 outG1537 of the smokeG3588G2586 locustsG200 uponG1519 the earthG3588G1093: andG2532 unto themG846 was givenG1325 powerG1849, asG5613 the scorpionsG3588G4651 of the earthG3588G1093 haveG2192 powerG1849. 4AndG2532 it was commandedG2046 themG846 thatG2443 they shouldG91 notG3361 hurtG91 the grassG3588G5528 of the earthG3588G1093, neitherG3761 anyG3956 green thingG5515, neitherG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186; butG1487G3361 onlyG3441 thoseG3748 menG3588G444 which haveG2192 notG3756 the sealG3588G4973 of GodG3588G2316 inG1909 theirG846 foreheadsG3588G3359. 5AndG2532 to themG846 it was givenG1325 thatG2443 they shouldG615 notG3361 killG615 themG846, butG235 thatG2443 they should be tormentedG928 fiveG4002 monthsG3376: andG2532 theirG846 tormentG3588G929 was asG5613 the tormentG929 of a scorpionG4651, whenG3752 he strikethG3817 a manG444. 6AndG2532 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG3588G2250 shallG2212 menG3588G444 seekG2212 deathG3588G2288, andG2532 shallG2147 notG3756 findG2147 itG846; andG2532 shall desireG1937 to dieG599, andG2532 deathG3588G2288 shall fleeG5343 fromG575 themG846. 7AndG2532 the shapesG3588G3667 of the locustsG3588G200 were like untoG3664 horsesG2462 preparedG2090 untoG1519 battleG4171; andG2532 onG1909 theirG846 headsG3588G2776 were as it wereG5613 crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, andG2532 theirG846 facesG3588G4383 were asG5613 the facesG4383 of menG444. 8AndG2532 they hadG2192 hairG2359 asG5613 the hairG2359 of womenG1135, andG2532 theirG846 teethG3588G3599 wereG1510 asG5613 the teeth of lionsG3023. 9AndG2532 they hadG2192 breastplatesG2382, as it wereG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; andG2532 the soundG3588G5456 of theirG846 wingsG3588G4420 was asG5613 the soundG5456 of chariotsG716 of manyG4183 horsesG2462 runningG5143 toG1519 battleG4171. 10AndG2532 they hadG2192 tailsG3769 like untoG3664 scorpionsG4651, andG2532 there wereG1510 stingsG2759 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3588G3769: andG2532 theirG846 powerG3588G1849 was to hurtG91 menG3588G444 fiveG4002 monthsG3376. 11AndG2532 they hadG2192 a kingG935 overG1909 themG846, which is the angelG3588G32 of the bottomless pitG3588G12, whose nameG3686 in the Hebrew tongueG1447 is AbaddonG3, butG2532 inG1722 the Greek tongueG3588G1673 hathG2192 his nameG3686 ApollyonG623.
12OneG3588G1520 woeG3588G3759 is pastG565; and, beholdG3708, there comeG2064 twoG1417 woesG3759 moreG2089 hereafterG3326.
13AndG2532 the sixthG3588G1623 angelG32 soundedG4537, andG2532 I heardG191 aG1520 voiceG5456 fromG1537 the fourG3588G5064 hornsG2768 of the goldenG3588G5552 altarG3588G2379 which is beforeG3588G1799 GodG3588G2316, 14SayingG3004 to the sixthG3588G1623 angelG32 whichG3739 hadG2192 the trumpetG3588G4536, LooseG3089 the fourG3588G5064 angelsG32 whichG3588 are boundG1210 inG1909 the greatG3588G3173 riverG3588G4215 EuphratesG2166. 15AndG2532 the fourG3588G5064 angelsG32 were loosedG3089, whichG3588 were preparedG2090 forG1519 an hourG3588G5610, andG2532 a dayG2250, andG2532 a monthG3376, andG2532 a yearG1763, for toG2443 slayG615 the third partG3588G5154 of menG3588G444. 16AndG2532 the numberG3588G706 of the armyG4753 of the horsemenG3588G2461 were twoG1417 hundred thousandG3461 thousandG3461: andG2532 I heardG191 the numberG3588G706 of themG846. 17AndG2532 thusG3779 I sawG3708 the horsesG3588G2462 inG1722 the visionG3588G3706, andG2532 themG3588 that satG2521 onG1909 themG846, havingG2192 breastplatesG2382 of fireG4447, andG2532 of jacinthG5191, andG2532 brimstoneG2306: andG2532 the headsG3588G2776 of the horsesG3588G2462 were asG5613 the headsG2776 of lionsG3023; andG2532 outG1537 of theirG846 mouthsG3588G4750 issuedG1607 fireG4442 andG2532 smokeG2586 andG2532 brimstoneG2303. 18ByG5259 theseG3778 threeG3588G5140 was the third partG3588G5154 of menG3588G444 killedG615, byG1537 the fireG3588G4442, andG2532 byG1537 the smokeG3588G2586, andG2532 byG1537 the brimstoneG3588G2303, whichG3588 issuedG1607 outG1537 of theirG846 mouthsG3588G4750. 19ForG1063 theirG846 powerG3588G1849 isG1510 inG1722 theirG846 mouthG3588G4750, andG2532 inG1722 theirG846 tailsG3588G3769: forG1063 theirG846 tailsG3588G3769 were like untoG3664 serpentsG3789, and hadG2192 headsG2776, andG2532 withG1722 themG846 they do hurtG91. 20AndG2532 the restG3588G3062 of the menG3588G444 whichG3739 wereG615 notG3756 killedG615 byG1722 theseG3778 plaguesG3588G4127 yet repentedG3340 notG3756 ofG1537 the worksG3588G2041 of theirG846 handsG3588G5495, thatG2443 they shouldG4352 notG3361 worshipG4352 devilsG3588G1140, andG2532 idolsG1497 of goldG3588G5552, andG2532 silverG3588G693, andG2532 brassG3588G5470, andG2532 stoneG3588G3035, andG2532 of woodG3588G3585: whichG3739 neitherG3777 canG1410 seeG991, norG3777 hearG191, norG3777 walkG4043: 21NeitherG3756 repented theyG3340 ofG1537 theirG846 murdersG3588G5408, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 sorceriesG3588G5331, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 fornicationG3588G4202, norG3777 ofG1537 theirG846 theftsG3588G2809.
