1THE fifth angel blew his trumpet. I saw a star that had fallen I down from Heaven to earth, and to him was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.
2Then he opened the shaft and smoke like the smoke of a vast furnace rose out of it, so that the light of the sun and the air itself grew dark from the smoke of the shaft.
3Then out of the smoke emerged locusts to descend upon the earth. They were given powers like those of earthly scorpions.
4They had orders to do no harm to any grass, green thing or tree upon the earth, but to injure only those human beings who did not bear the seal of God upon their foreheads.
5They were given no power to kill men, but only to torture them for five months. The torture they could inflict was like the pain of a scorpion's sting.
6In those days men will seek death but they will never find it; they will long to die but death will elude them.
7These locusts looked to me in my vision like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were what appeared to be crowns like gold; their faces were like human faces,
8and they had long hair like women. Their teeth were like lion's teeth,
9their breasts were like ironbreastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of a host of chariots and horses charging into battle.
10They have tails and stings like scorpions, and it is in their tails that they possess the power to injure men for five months. T
11hey have as their king the angel of the pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, (meaning the destroyer).
12The first disaster is now past, but I see two more approaching.
13Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a solitary voice speaking from the four corners of the golden altar that stands in the presence of God.
14And it said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"
15Then these four angels who had been held ready for the hour, the day, the month and the year, were set free to kill a thirdpart of all mankind.
16The number of their horsemen was two hundred millionI heard what their number was.
17In my vision I saw these horses and their riders, and their breastplates were fieryred, blue and yellow. The horses' heads looked to me like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths poured fire and smoke and sulphur.
18A third of all mankind died from the fearful effects of these three, the fire, the smoke and the sulphur which pours out of their mouths.
19For the power of these horses lies in their mouths and in their tails. Indeed their tails are like serpents with heads, and with these they inflict injury.
20The rest of mankind, who did not die in this fearful destruction, neither repented of the works of their own hands nor ceased to worship evil powers and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone or wood, which can neither see nor hear nor move.
21Neither did they repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual sins, nor of their thieving.
