Dual Panel1Then<2532> the fifth<3991> angel<32> sounded<4537>, and I saw<3708> a star<792> from heaven<3772> which had fallen<4098> to the earth<1093>; and the key<2807> of the bottomless<12> pit<5421> was given<1325> to him.
2He opened<455> the bottomless<12> pit<5421>, and smoke<2586> went<305> up out of the pit<5421>, like<5613> the smoke<2586> of a great<3173> furnace<2575>; and the sun<2246> and the air<109> were darkened<4656> by the smoke<2586> of the pit<5421>.
3Then<2532> out of the smoke<2586> came<1831> locusts<200> upon the earth<1093>, and power<1849> was given<1325> them, as the scorpions<4651> of the earth<1093> have<2192> power<1849>.
4They were told<3004> not to hurt<91> the grass<5528> of the earth<1093>, nor<3761> any<3956> green<5515> thing<5515>, nor<3761> any<3956> tree<1186>, but only<1487><3361> the men<444> who<3748> do not have<2192> the seal<4973> of God<2316> on their foreheads<3359>.
5And they were not permitted<1325> to kill<615> anyone<846>, but to torment<928> for five<4002> months<3376>; and their torment<929> was like<5613> the torment<929> of a scorpion<4651> when<3752> it stings<3817> a man<444>.
6And in those<1565> days<2250> men<444> will seek<2212> death<2288> and will not find<2147> it; they will long<1937> to die<599>, and death<2288> flees<5343> from them.
7The appearance<3667> of the locusts<200> was like<3664> horses<2462> prepared<2090> for battle<4171>; and on their heads<2776> appeared<5613> to be crowns<4735> like<3664> gold<5557>, and their faces<4383> were like<5613> the faces<4383> of men<444>.
8They had<2192> hair<2359> like<5613> the hair<2359> of women<1135>, and their teeth<3599> were like<5613> the teeth of lions<3023>.
9They had<2192> breastplates<2382> like<5613> breastplates<2382> of iron<4603>; and the sound<5456> of their wings<4420> was like<5613> the sound<5456> of chariots<716>, of many<4183> horses<2462> rushing<5143> to battle<4171>.
10They have<2192> tails<3769> like<3664> scorpions<4651>, and stings<2759>; and in their tails<3769> is their power<1849> to hurt<91> men<444> for five<4002> months<3376>.
11They have<2192> as king<935> over<1909> them, the angel<32> of the abyss<12>; his name<3686> in Hebrew<1447> is Abaddon<3>, and in the Greek<1673> he has<2192> the name<3686> Apollyon<623>.
12The first<1520> woe<3759> is past<565>; behold<2400>, two<1417> woes<3759> are still<2089> coming<2064> after<3326> these<3778> things<3778>.
13Then<2532> the sixth<1623> angel<32> sounded<4537>, and I heard<191> a voice<5456> from the four<5064> horns<2768> of the golden<5552> altar<2379> which is before<1799> God<2316>,
14one saying<3004> to the sixth<1623> angel<32> who had<2192> the trumpet<4536>, "Release<3089> the four<5064> angels<32> who are bound<1210> at the great<3173> river<4215> Euphrates<2166>."
15And the four<5064> angels<32>, who had been prepared<2090> for the hour<5610> and day<2250> and month<3376> and year<1763>, were released<3089>, so<2443> that they would kill<615> a third<5154> of mankind<444>.
16The number<706> of the armies<4753> of the horsemen<2461> was two<1365><3461> hundred<1365><3461> million<1365><3461>; I heard<191> the number<706> of them.
17And this<3779> is how<3779> I saw<3708> in the vision<3706> the horses<2462> and those<3588> who sat<2521> on them: the riders had<2192> breastplates<2382> the color of fire<4447> and of hyacinth<5191> and of brimstone<2306>; and the heads<2776> of the horses<2462> are like<5613> the heads<2776> of lions<3023>; and out of their mouths<4750> proceed<1607> fire<4442> and smoke<2586> and brimstone<2303>.
18A third<5154> of mankind<444> was killed<615> by these<3778> three<5140> plagues<4127>, by the fire<4442> and the smoke<2586> and the brimstone<2303> which proceeded<1607> out of their mouths<4750>.
19For the power<1849> of the horses<2462> is in their mouths<4750> and in their tails<3769>; for their tails<3769> are like<3664> serpents<3789> and have<2192> heads<2776>, and with them they do<91> harm<91>.
20The rest<3062> of mankind<444>, who<3739> were not killed<615> by these<3778> plagues<4127>, did not repent<3340> of the works<2041> of their hands<5495>, so<2443> as not to worship<4352> demons<1140>, and the idols<1497> of gold<5552> and of silver<693> and of brass<5470> and of stone<3035> and of wood<3585>, which<3739> can<1410> neither<3777> see<991> nor<3777> hear<191> nor<3777> walk<4043>;
21and they did not repent<3340> of their murders<5408> nor<3777> of their sorceries<5331> nor<3777> of their immorality<4202> nor<3777> of their thefts<2809>.
