| 1 | And the fifth angel sounded , and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth : and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit . |
| 2 | And he opened the bottomless pit ; and there arose 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 . |
| 3 | And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth : and unto them was given power , as the scorpions of the earth have power . |
| 4 | And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth , neither any green thing , neither any tree ; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads . |
| 5 | And to them it was given 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 he striketh a man . |
| 6 | And in those days shall men seek death , and shall not find it ; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them . |
| 7 | And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold , and their faces [were] as the faces of men . |
| 8 | And they had hair as the hair of women , and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions . |
| 9 | 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 running to battle . |
| 10 | And they had tails like unto scorpions , and there were stings in their tails : and their power [was] to hurt men five months . |
| 11 | And they had a king over them , [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit , whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon , but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon . |
| 12 | One woe is past ; [and], behold , there come two woes more hereafter . |
| 13 | And the sixth angel sounded , and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God , |
| 14 | Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet , Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates . |
| 15 | And the four angels were loosed , which were prepared for an hour , and a day , and a month , and a year , for to slay the third part of men . |
| 16 | And the number of the army of the horsemen [were] two hundred thousand thousand : and I heard the number of them . |
| 17 | And thus I saw the horses in the vision , and them that sat on them , having breastplates of fire , and of jacinth , and brimstone : and the heads of the horses [were] as the heads of lions ; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone . |
| 18 | By these three was the third part of men killed , by the fire , and by the smoke , and by the brimstone , which issued out of their mouths . |
| 19 | For their power is in their mouth , and in their tails : for their tails [were] like unto serpents , and had heads , and with them they do hurt . |
| 20 | And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands , that they should not worship devils , and idols of gold , and silver , and brass , and stone , and of wood : which neither can see , nor hear , nor walk : |
| 21 | Neither repented they of their murders , nor of their sorceries , nor of their fornication , nor of their thefts . |
