CHAPTER 9

:1  And the fifth <G 3991> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>, and

I saw <G 1492> a

star <G 0792> fall <G 4098> from heaven <G 3772> unto the earth

<G 1093>: and to

him was given <G 1325> the key <G 2807> of the bottomless <G

0012> pit <G 5421>.

:2  And he opened <G 0455> the bottomless <G 0012> pit <G 5421>;

and there arose

<G 0305> a smoke <G 2586> out of the pit <G 5421>, as the smoke

<G 2586> of a

great <G 3173> furnace <G 2575>; and the sun <G 2246> and the

air <G 0109> were

darkened <G 4654> by reason <G 1537> of the smoke <G 2586> of

the pit <G 5421>.

:3  And there came <G 1831> out of the smoke <G 2586> locusts <G

0200> upon the

earth <G 1093>: and unto them was given <G 1325> power <G 1849>,

as the

scorpions <G 4651> of the earth <G 1093> have <G 2192> power <G

1849>.

:4  And it was commanded <G 4483> them that they should not hurt

<G 0091> the

grass <G 5528> of the earth <G 1093>, neither any <G 3956> green

<G 5515> thing,

neither any <G 3956> tree <G 1186>; but only <G 3441> those <G

3588> men <G

0444> which <G 3748> have <G 2192> not the seal <G 4973> of God

<G 2316> in

their foreheads <G 3359>.

:5  And to them it was given <G 1325> that they should not kill

<G 0615> them,

but that they should be tormented <G 0928> five <G 4002> months

<G 3376>: and

their torment <G 0929> [was] as the torment <G 0929> of a

scorpion <G 4651>,

when <G 3752> he striketh <G 3817> a man <G 0444>.

:6  And in those <G 1565> days <G 2250> shall men <G 0444> seek

<G 2212> death

<G 2288>, and shall not find <G 2147> it; and shall desire <G

1937> to die <G

0599>, and death <G 2288> shall flee <G 5343> from them.

:7  And the shapes <G 3667> of the locusts <G 0200> [were] like

<G 3664> unto

horses <G 2462> prepared <G 2090> unto battle <G 4171>; and on

<G 1909> their

heads <G 2776> [were] as it were crowns <G 4735> like <G 3664>

gold <G 5557>,

and their faces <G 4383> [were] as the faces <G 4383> of men <G

0444>.

:8  And they had <G 2192> hair <G 2359> as the hair <G 2359> of

women <G 1135>,

and their teeth <G 3599> were as [the teeth] of lions <G 3023>.

:9  And they had <G 2192> breastplates <G 2382>, as it were

breastplates <G

2382> of iron <G 4603>; and the sound <G 5456> of their wings <G

4420> [was] as

the sound <G 5456> of chariots <G 0716> of many <G 4183> horses

<G 2462> running

<G 5143> to battle <G 4171>.

:10  And they had <G 2192> tails <G 3769> like <G 3664> unto

scorpions <G 4651>,

and there were stings <G 2759> in their tails <G 3769>: and

their power <G 1849>

[was] to hurt <G 0091> men <G 0444> five <G 4002> months <G

3376>.

:11  And they had <G 2192> a king <G 0935> over <G 1909> them,

[which is] the

angel <G 0032> of the bottomless <G 0012> pit, whose <G 0846>

name <G 3686> in

the Hebrew <G 1447> tongue <G 1447> [is] Abaddon <G 0003>, but

in the Greek <G

1673> tongue hath <G 2192> [his] name <G 3686> Apollyon <G 0623>.

:12  One <G 3391> woe <G 3759> is past <G 0565>; [and], behold

<G 2400>, there

come <G 2064> two <G 1417> woes <G 3759> more <G 2089> hereafter

<G 5023>.

:13. And the sixth <G 1623> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>, and

I heard <G

0191> a voice <G 5456> from the four <G 5064> horns <G 2768> of

the golden <G

5552> altar <G 2379> which <G 3588> is before <G 1799> God <G

2316>,

:14  Saying <G 3004> to the sixth <G 1623> angel which <G 3739>

had <G 2192> the

trumpet <G 4536>, Loose <G 3089> the four <G 5064> angels <G

0032> which <G

3588> are bound <G 1210> in the great <G 3173> river <G 4215>

Euphrates <G

2166>.

:15  And the four <G 5064> angels <G 0032> were loosed <G 3089>,

which <G 3588>

were prepared <G 2090> for an hour <G 5610>, and a day <G 2250>,

and a month <G

3376>, and a year <G 1763>, for to slay <G 0615> the third <G

5154> part of men

<G 0444>.

:16  And the number <G 0706> of the army <G 4753> of the

horsemen <G 2461>

[were] two <G 1417> hundred <G 3461> thousand <G 3461> thousand

<G 3461>: and I

heard <G 0191> the number <G 0706> of them.

:17  And thus <G 3779> I saw <G 1492> the horses <G 2462> in the

vision <G

3706>, and them that sat <G 2521> on <G 1909> them, having <G

2192> breastplates

<G 2382> of fire <G 4447>, and of jacinth <G 5191>, and

brimstone <G 2306>: and

the heads <G 2776> of the horses <G 2462> [were] as the heads <G

2776> of lions

<G 3023>; and out of their mouths <G 4750> issued <G 1607> fire

<G 4442> and

smoke <G 2586> and brimstone <G 2303>.

:18  By these <G 5103> three <G 5140> was the third <G 5154>

part of men <G

0444> killed <G 0615>, by the fire <G 4442>, and by the smoke <G

2586>, and by

the brimstone <G 2303>, which <G 3588> issued <G 1607> out of

their mouths <G

4750>.

:19  For their power <G 1849> is in their mouth <G 4750>, and in

their tails <G

3769>: for their tails <G 3769> [were] like <G 3664> unto

serpents <G 3789>, and

had <G 2192> heads <G 2776>, and with them they do hurt <G 0091>.

:20  And the rest <G 3062> of the men <G 0444> which <G 3739>

were not killed <G

0615> by these <G 5025> plagues <G 4127> yet repented <G 3340>

not of the works

<G 2041> of their hands <G 5495>, that they should not worship

<G 4352> devils

<G 1140>, and idols <G 1497> of gold <G 5552>, and silver <G

0693>, and brass <G

5470>, and stone <G 3035>, and of wood <G 3585>: which <G 3739>

neither <G 3777>

can <G 1410> see <G 0991>, nor <G 3777> hear <G 0191>, nor <G

3777> walk <G

4043>:

:21  Neither <G 3756> repented <G 3340> they of their murders <G

5408>, nor <G

3777> of their sorceries <G 5331>, nor <G 3777> of their

fornication <G 4202>,

nor <G 3777> of their thefts <G 2809>.
