2
He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft 1rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and 2the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
3
Then from the smoke came 3locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth.
4
They were told 4not to harm 5the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have 6the seal of God on their foreheads.
5
They were allowed to torment them 7for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6
And in those days 8people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7
9In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: 10on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were 11like human faces,
8
their hair like women's hair, and 12their teeth like lions' teeth;
9
they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was 13like the noise of many chariots with 14horses rushing into battle.
10
They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people 15for five months is in their tails.
11
They have 16as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is 17Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.a
12
18The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.
13
Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from 19the four horns of the golden altar before God,
14
saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release 20the four angels who are bound at 21the great river Euphrates."
15
So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released 22to kill a third of mankind.
16
The number of 23mounted troops was 24twice ten thousand times ten thousand; 25I heard their number.
17
And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphireb and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were 26like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths.
18
By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
19
For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound.
20
The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, 27did not repent of 28the works of their hands nor give up worshiping 29demons 30and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,
21
nor did they repent of their murders or their 31sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.
