Chapter 9 (CV)

¹ And the fifth messenger trumpets. And I perceived a star fallen out of heaven into the earth. And to him was given the key of the well of the submerged chaos.
² And he opens the well of the submerged chaos, and fumes ascended out of the well as the smoke of a large furnace, and the sun and the air are darkened by the fumes of the well.
³ And out of the fumes came out locusts into the earth, and license was granted them as the scorpions of the earth have license.
⁴ And it was declared to them that they should not be injuring the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, except those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
⁵ And it was granted to them, not that they should be killing them, but that they shall be tormented five months; and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, whenever it should be striking a man.
⁶ And in those days men will be seeking death, and under no circumstances shall they be finding it. And they will be yearning to die, and death is fleeing from them.
⁷ And the likenesses of the locusts are like horses made ready for battle, and on their heads are as it were wreaths like gold, and their faces are as it were human faces,
⁸ and they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth are as if they were lions'.
⁹ And they had cuirasses, as it were cuirasses of iron, and the sound of their wings is as the sound of many chariot horses racing into battle.
¹⁰ And they have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their license is to injure mankind five months with their tails.
¹¹ They have a king over them-the messenger of the submerged chaos. His Hebrew name is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
¹² One woe passed away. Lo! Coming still are two woes after these.
¹³ And the sixth messenger trumpets. And I hear one voice out of the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
¹⁴ saying to the sixth messenger who has the trumpet, "Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates."
¹⁵ And loosed were the four messengers, made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they should be killing a third of mankind.
¹⁶ And the number of the troops of cavalry was two hundred millions-I hear their number.
¹⁷ And thus I perceived the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having cuirasses fiery and amethystine and sulphurous; and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions, and out of their mouths is issuing fire and fumes and sulphur.
¹⁸ By these three calamities were killed a third of mankind: by the fire and the fumes and the sulphur which is issuing out of their mouths.
¹⁹ For the license of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents, having heads, and with them they are injuring.
²⁰ And the rest of mankind, who were not killed in these calamities, repent not of the acts of their hands- that they will not be worshiping the demons and idols of gold and silver and copper and stone and wood, which are neither able to be observing nor to be hearing nor to be walking-
²¹ and they repent not of their murders, nor of their enchantments, nor of their prostitution, nor of their thefts.

Chapter 9 (KJV)

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.
