Dual Panel1And the fifth angel blew the trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth, and the key of the shaft of the abyss was given to him.
2And he opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke went up from the shaft like smoke from a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.
3And out of the smoke locusts came to the earth, and power was given to them like the scorpions of the earth have power.
4And it was told to them that they should not damage the grass of the earth or any green [plant] or any tree, except those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5And it was granted to them that they should not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months, and their torment [is] like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person.
6And in those days people will seek death and will never find it, and they will long to die, and death will flee from them.
7And the appearance of the locusts [was] like horses prepared for battle, and on their heads [were something] like crowns similar in appearance to gold, and their faces [were] like men’s faces,
8and they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like [the teeth] of lions,
9and they had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings [was] like the sound of many _horse-drawn chariots_ running into battle.
10And they have tails similar in appearance to scorpions, and stings, and their power to injure people [for] five months [is] in their tails.
11They have [as] king over them the angel of the abyss, _whose name_ in Hebrew [is] Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
12The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes are still coming after these [things].
13And the sixth angel blew the trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar [that is] before God
14saying to the sixth angel, the one who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who have been bound at the great river Euphrates!
15And the four angels who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released, in order that they should kill a third of humanity.
16And the number of the troops of the cavalry [was] _two hundred million_ ; I heard the number of them.
17And in this way I saw the horses in the vision, and those seated on them, who had fiery [red] and hyacinth-colored and sulphurous [yellow] breastplates, and the heads of the horses [were] like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and sulphur.
18By these three plagues a third of humanity was killed—by the fire and the smoke and the sulphur that came out of their mouths.
19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails [are] similar in appearance to snakes, having heads, and with them they cause injury.
20And the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, _in order not to worship_ the demons and the gold and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see nor to hear nor to walk,
21and they did not repent of their murders or of their magic spells or of their sexual immorality or of their thefts.
