Revelation 9 — RVA
9Verse 1And 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.Verse 2And 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.Verse 3And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.Verse 4And 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.Verse 5And 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.Verse 6And 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.Verse 7And 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.Verse 8And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.Verse 9And 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.Verse 10And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months.Verse 11They 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.Verse 12The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.Verse 13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,Verse 14one saying to the sixth angel, which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.Verse 15And the four angels were loosed, which had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men.Verse 16And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them.Verse 17And 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 the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone.Verse 18By 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.Verse 19For 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 do hurt.Verse 20And the rest of mankind, which were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, 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:Verse 21and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
