1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star note falling from heaven
upon the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose a smoke out of the
pit, note as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were
darkened by the smoke of the pit.
3 And out of the smoke note there went
forth locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions
of the earth have power:
4 And it was commanded them, note not
to hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree,
-- --
but only the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 And it was given them, not to kill them, note but that they should be tormented
five months; and the torment of them is as the torment of a
scorpion, when he stingeth a man.
6 And in those days the men note shall seek
death, but not find it; and shall desire to die, but death will flee from
them.
7 And the appearances note of the locusts are like horses made ready
for battle; and on their heads are as it were crowns like gold, and their
faces are as the faces of men,
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, note
and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breast-plates
as it were breast-plates of iron, and the sound of their wings was
as the sound of chariots of many horses note running to battle.
10 And they
have tails like scorpions, note and stings were in their tails; and their power
is, to hurt men five months.
11 And they have over them a king, note the
angel of the bottomless pit: his name in the Hebrew is Abaddon, but in
the Greek he hath the name Apollyon.
12 One wo is past: behold
there come yet two woes after this. note
13 And the sixth angel sounded, note and I heard a voice from the four
-- --
corners of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth
angel, who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels note who are bound in
the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, who
were prepared note for the hour, and day, and month, and year, to kill the
third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of horsemen was two
hundred millions: note I heard their number.
17 And thus I saw the horses
in the vision and them that sat on them, note having breast-plates of fire and
hyacinth and brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads
of lions, and out of their mouths goeth fire, and smoke and brimstone.
-- --
18 By these three note plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire,
and the smoke, and the brimstone which went out of their mouths.
19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; note for
their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they do hurt.
20 And the rest of the men, who were not killed note by these plagues, yet
repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship
devils and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood,
which can neither hear, nor see, nor walk:
21 Neither repented of
their murders, nor of their sorceries, note nor of their fornications, nor of
their thefts.
