\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.
