009:001

And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit

009:002

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power

009:003

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads

009:004

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man

009:005

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them

009:006

And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men

009:007

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions

009:008

And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle

009:009

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months

009:010

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon

009:011

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter

009:012

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God

009:013

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates

009:014

And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men

009:015

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them

009:016

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone

009:017

By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths

009:018

For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt

009:019

And the rest of the men which were not killed 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 of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk

009:020

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts
