THE APOCALYPSE.
CHAPTER IX.
1. AND the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from hea-
ven unto the earth, and to him was given the key of the bottom-
less pit.
2. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke
out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace: and the sun and
the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3. 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.
4. 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, who had not the seal of God in their fore-
heads.
5. And to them it was given that they should not kill them,
but that they should be tormented five months: and their tor-
ment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find
it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7. 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.
8. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth
were as the teeth of lions.
9. And they had breast-plates, as it were breast-plates of iron;
and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many
horses running to battle.
10. And they had tails like unto scorpions; and there were
stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11. And they had a king over them, the angel of the bottomless
pit; whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the
Greek tongue he hath his name Apollyon.
