The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 9
{9:1} The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky fallen
to the [1>]eretz[<1]. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to
him. {9:2} He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of
the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air
were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. {9:3} Then out of the
smoke came forth locusts on the [2>]eretz[<2], and power was given to
them, as the scorpions of the [3>]eretz[<3] have power. {9:4} They
were told that they should not hurt the grass of the [4>]eretz[<4],
neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who
don't have God's seal on their foreheads. {9:5} They were given power
not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment
was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a man. {9:6} In
those days men will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will
desire to die, and death will flee from them. {9:7} The shapes of the
locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were
something like golden crowns, and their faces were like men's faces.
{9:8} They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those
of lions. {9:9} They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The
sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses
rushing to war. {9:10} They have tails like those of scorpions, and
stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
{9:11} They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in
Hebrew is "Avaddon," but in Yevanit, he has the name "Apollyon."
{9:12} The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming
after this.
{9:13} The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of
the golden altar which is before God, {9:14} saying to the sixth angel
who had one [5>]shofar[<5], "Free the four angels who are bound at the
great river Perat!"
{9:15} The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that
hour and day and month and year, so that they would kill one third of
mankind. {9:16} The number of the armies of the horsemen was ten
thousands of ten thousands. I heard the number of them. {9:17} Thus I
saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having
breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the
heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
{9:18} By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the
fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
{9:19} For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their
tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with
them they harm. {9:20} The rest of mankind, who were not killed with
these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they
wouldn't worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of
brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor
walk. {9:21} They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their
sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
