The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 9
{9:1} The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which
had 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 people 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 person. {9:6} In
those days people 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 people'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 might kill one third of
mankind. {9:16} The number of the armies of the horsemen was two
hundred million. 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.
