9Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet. I saw a star which had fallen down to the earth, and it was given the key to the abyss.G2532G3991G32G4537G2532G1492G792G4098G1537G3772G1519G1093G2532G846G1325G2807G12G54212The star opened the abyss, and smoke poured out of it, like the smoke from a large furnace; the sunlight and the air were darkened by the smoke from the abyss.G2532G455G12G5421G2532G305G2586G1537G5421G5613G2586G3173G2575G2532G2246G2532G109G4654G1537G2586G54213Locusts came down out of the smoke upon the earth, and they were given the same kind of power that scorpions have.G2532G1831G1537G2586G200G1519G1093G2532G846G1325G1849G5613G4651G1093G2192G18494They were told not to harm the grass or the trees or any other plant; they could harm only the people who did not have the mark of God's seal on their foreheads.G2532G4483G846G3363G91G3363G91G5528G1093G3761G3956G5515G3761G3956G1186G1508G3441G444G3748G2192G3756G4973G2316G1909G846G33595The locusts were not allowed to kill these people, but only to torture them for five months. The pain caused by the torture is like the pain caused by a scorpion's sting.G2532G846G1325G3363G615G3363G615G846G235G2443G928G4002G3376G2532G846G929G5613G929G4651G3752G3817G4446During those five months they will seek death, but will not find it; they will want to die, but death will flee from them.G2532G1722G1565G2250G444G2212G2288G2532G2147G3756G2147G846G2532G1937G599G2532G2288G5343G575G8467The locusts looked like horses ready for battle; on their heads they had what seemed to be crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces.G2532G3667G200G3664G2462G2090G1519G4171G2532G1909G846G2776G5613G4735G3664G5557G2532G846G4383G5613G4383G4448Their hair was like women's hair, their teeth were like lions' teeth.G2532G2192G2359G5613G2359G1135G2532G846G3599G2258G5613G30239Their chests were covered with what looked like iron breastplates, and the sound made by their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle.G2532G2192G2382G5613G2382G4603G2532G5456G846G4420G5613G5456G716G4183G2462G5143G1519G417110They have tails and stings like those of a scorpion, and it is with their tails that they have the power to hurt people for five months.G2532G2192G3769G3664G4651G2532G2258G2759G1722G846G3769G2532G846G1849G91G444G4002G337611They have a king ruling over them, who is the angel in charge of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon; in Greek the name is Apollyon (meaning "The Destroyer").G2532G2192G935G1909G848G32G12G846G3686G1447G3G2532G1722G1673G2192G3686G62312The first horror is over; after this there are still two more horrors to come.G3391G3759G565G2400G2064G1417G3759G2089G3326G502313Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet. I heard a voice coming from the four corners of the gold altar standing before God.G2532G1623G32G4537G2532G191G3391G5456G1537G5064G2768G5552G2379G3588G1799G231614The voice said to the sixth angel, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River!"G3004G1623G32G3739G2192G4536G3089G5064G32G3588G1210G1909G3173G4215G216615The four angels were released; for this very hour of this very day of this very month and year they had been kept ready to kill a third of all the human race.G2532G5064G32G3089G3588G2090G1519G5610G2532G2250G2532G3376G2532G1763G2443G615G5154G44416I was told the number of the mounted troops: it was two hundred million.G2532G706G4753G2461G1417G3461G3461G2532G191G706G84617And in my vision I saw the horses and their riders: they had breastplates red as fire, blue as sapphire, and yellow as sulfur. The horses' heads were like lions' heads, and from their mouths came out fire, smoke, and sulfur.G2532G3779G1492G2462G1722G3706G2532G2521G1909G846G2192G2382G4447G2532G5191G2532G2306G2532G2776G2462G5613G2776G3023G2532G1537G846G4750G1607G4442G2532G2586G2532G230318A third of the human race was killed by those three plagues: the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur coming out of the horses' mouths.G5259G5130G5140G615G5154G444G615G1537G4442G2532G1537G2586G2532G1537G2303G3588G1607G1537G846G475019For the power of the horses is in their mouths and also in their tails. Their tails are like snakes with heads, and they use them to hurt people.G1063G846G1849G1526G2076G1722G846G4750G2532G1722G846G3769G1063G846G3769G3664G3789G2192G2776G2532G1722G846G9120The rest of the human race, all those who had not been killed by these plagues, did not turn away from what they themselves had made. They did not stop worshiping demons, nor the idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which cannot see, hear, or walk.G2532G3062G444G3739G615G3756G615G1722G5025G4127G3777G3340G3777G1537G2041G846G5495G3363G4352G3363G4352G1140G2532G1497G5552G2532G693G2532G5470G2532G3035G2532G3585G3739G3777G1410G991G3777G191G3777G404321Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic, their sexual immorality, or their stealing.G2532G3756G3340G1537G846G5408G3777G1537G846G5331G3777G1537G846G4202G3777G1537G846G2809
