\subsection{Revelation 9}
\VS{1} And the fifth angel trumpeted, and I saw [a] star fallen from heaven to the 
land, and to him was given the key of the pit of the abyss\footnote{or 
``underworld''}. 
\VS{2} And he opened the pit of the abyss\footnote{or 
``underworld''}, and [a] smoke went up from the pit like the smoke of [a] great 
furnace, and the sun and air were darkened from the smoke of the pit. 
\VS{3} And from the pit went out locusts to the land, and to them was given 
authority as the scorpions of the land have authority. 
\VS{4} And it was 
commanded them that they not injure the grass of the land nor every green 
[thing] nor every tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their 
foreheads. 
\VS{5} And it was given to them that they be not killing them, 
but in order that they torment [them] five months. And their torment [is] as [the] torment 
of [a] scorpion, when it stings [a] man. 
\VS{6} And in those days men will seek 
death and will \negd{not} find it, and will lust to die, and death 
flees from them. 
\VS{7} And the likeness of the locusts [is] like horses 
prepared for war, and upon their heads [there were] like crowns like gold, and their 
faces [were] as like [the] faces of men, 
\VS{8} and they had hair like [the] hair of women, 
and their teeth were like [a] lion's, 
\VS{9} and they had breast-plates like 
iron breast-plates, and the sound of their wings [was] like [the] sound of chariots 
of many horses running to war. 
\VS{10} And they have tails like [those of] scorpions 
and [there were] stings, and in their tails [was] their authority to hurt men five months. 
\VS{11} And they have [a] king over them, the angel of the abyss\footnote{or 
``underworld''}, his name in Hebrew [is] Abaddon, and in the Greek he has [the] name 
Apollyon\footnote{or ``Destroyer''}. 
\VS{12} The one woe has departed, 
behold two woes still come after these [things]. 
\VS{13} And the sixth angel 
trumpeted, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar 
before God 
\VS{14} saying to the sixth angel, the [one] having the trumpet: Loose 
the four angels bound in the great river Euphrates. 
\VS{15} And the four 
angels prepared for this hour and day and month and year were loosed in 
order that they be killing a third of men. 
\VS{16} And the number of the 
army of horsemen [was] twenty thousand thousands --- I heard their number. 
\VS{17} And thus I saw the horses in the vision and those having sat upon 
them, having firey and Hyacinth\footnote{dark blue, dark red ?} and 
sulfurous breastplates, and the heads of the horses [were] like [the] heads of lions, 
and from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulfur. 
\VS{18} By this 
third plague was a third of men killed, from the fire and the smoke and the 
sulfur proceeding from their mouths. 
\VS{19} For the power of the horses 
[is] in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents, 
having heads, and with them they do injury. 
\VS{20} And the rest of men, who 
were not killed in these plagues, neither repented from the works of their 
hands, in order that they not worship demons and idols of gold and silver 
and copper and stone and wood, which are able neither to be seeing nor 
hearing nor walking, 
\VS{21} and they did not repent from their murders nor 
from their sorceries nor from their fornications nor from their thefts.
