1 ¶ And the fifth angel sounded the trumpet, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth; and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss,

2 A nd he opened the bottomless pit, and there arose 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.

and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit.

3 A nd there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

4 A nd 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 who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads.

and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

5 A nd to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should torment them five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man.

and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

6 A nd in those days men shall seek death and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

7 A nd the appearance of the locusts was 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.

And the likenesses of the locusts like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men,

8 A nd they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions,

9 A nd 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.

and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;

10 A nd they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails; and their power was to hurt men five months.

and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority to injure men five months;

11 A nd they had a king over them, who is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon meaning destroyer.

and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

12 T he first woe is past; and, behold, there come two more woes after these things.

The first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.

13 ¶ And the sixth angel sounded the trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before the presence of God,

And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God,

14 s aying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, Loose the four angels who are bound in the great river Euphrates.

saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose the four messengers who are bound at the great river Euphrates;'

15 A nd the four angels were loosed, who were prepared unto the hour and day and month and year, to slay the third part of men.

and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

16 A nd the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred million: and I heard the number of them.

and the number of the forces of the horsemen two myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them.

17 A nd thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those 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.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and brimstone; and the heads of the horses as heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and brimstone;

18 B y these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and by the smoke and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

19 F or their power is in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails were like unto serpents that have heads, and with them they do hurt.

for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their tails, for their tails like serpents, having heads, and with them they do injure;

20 A nd the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons and the images of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which neither can see nor hear nor walk.

and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues, neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk,

21 A nd they did not repent of their murders nor of their witchcraft nor of their fornication nor of their thefts.

yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts.
