1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth. The key to the shaft of the abyss was given to him. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke came up out of the shaft like smoke from a great furnace so that the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it strikes a man. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. Something like gold crowns was on their heads; their faces were like men's faces; |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8they had hair like women's hair; their teeth were like lions' teeth; |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle; |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11They had as their king the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The first woe has passed. There are still two more woes to come after this. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13The sixth angel blew his trumpet. From the four horns of the gold altar that is before God, I heard a voice |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14say to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels bound at the great river Euphrates." |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15So the four angels who were prepared for the hour, day, month, and year were released to kill a third of the human race. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The number of mounted troops was 200 million; I heard their number. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17This is how I saw the horses in my vision: The horsemen had breastplates that were fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18A third of the human race was killed by these three plagues--by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came from their mouths. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails, which resemble snakes, have heads, and they inflict injury with them. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20The rest of the people, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands to stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which are not able to see, hear, or walk. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And they did not repent of their murders, their sorceries, their sexual immorality, or their thefts. |
