Revelation 9
|
And at the sounding of the fifth angel I saw a star falling from heaven to the earth: and there was given to him the key of the great deep. | And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. |
And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke. | And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up 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. |
And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions. | And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. |
And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows. | And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. |
And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion. | And it was given them 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 it striketh a man. |
And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them. | And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. |
And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. | And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men's faces. |
And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. | And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [teeth] of lions. |
And they had breastplates like iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of carriages, like an army of horses rushing to the fight. | 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 rushing to war. |
And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months. | And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. |
They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon. | They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek [tongue] he hath the name Apollyon. |
The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come. | The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter. |
And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God, | And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, |
Saying to the sixth angel who had the horn, Make free the four angels who are chained at the great river Euphrates. | one saying to the sixth angel that had one trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. |
And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men. | And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. |
And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears. | And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. |
And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning. | And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates [as] of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. |
By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths. | By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. |
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails: because their tails are like snakes, and have heads, and with them they give wounds. | For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. |
And the rest of the people, who were not put to death by these evils, were not turned from the works of their hands, but went on giving worship to evil spirits, and images of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood which have no power of seeing or hearing or walking: | And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: |
And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others. | and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. |
