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.
02 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.
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 And in those days shall men seek death, and
shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and
death shall flee from them.
07 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.
08 And they had hair as the hair of women, and
their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
09 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.
