66:009:003 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.
66:009:004 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.
66:009:005 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.
66:009:006 And in those days shall men seek death,
and shall not find it;
and
shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
66:009:007 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.
66:009:008 And they had hair as the hair of women,
and their teeth were
as
the teeth of lions.
66:009:009 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.
66:009:010 And they had tails like unto scorpions,
and there were stings
in
their tails: and their power was to hurt men five
months.
66:009:011 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.
66:009:012 One woe is past; and, behold, there come
two woes more
hereafter.
66:009:013 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard
a voice from the four
horns
of the golden altar which is before God,
66:009:014 Saying to the sixth angel which had the
trumpet, Loose the
four
angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
66:009:015 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.
66:009:016 And the number of the army of the horsemen
were two hundred
thousand
thousand: and I heard the number of them.
66:009:017 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.
66:009:018 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.
