Then the fifth angel sounded (his) trumpet , and I saw a star that had fallen from - heaven to - earth , and it was given - the key to the pit of the Abyss.
- (The star) opened the pit of the Abyss , and smoke rose out of - (it) like (the) smoke of a great furnace , and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.
And out of the smoke , locusts descended on ... the earth , and they were given power like vvv (that of) the scorpions of the earth.
- They were told - not to harm the grass of the earth (or) any plant (or) - tree , but only ... those ... who vvv did not have the seal - of God on (their) foreheads.
- (The locusts) were not given power ... to kill them , but only to torment (them) (for) five months , and their - torment (was) like - vvv the stinging - of a scorpion.
- In those - days - men will seek - death and vvv vvv will not find it ; - they will long to die , (but) - death will escape ... them.
And - the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle , - (with something) like crowns of gold on their - heads , and - - faces like (the) faces of men.
- They had hair like (that) of women , and - - teeth - like (those) of lions.
vvv They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron , and the sound of their wings (was) like (the) roar of many horses (and) chariots rushing into battle.
- They had tails with stingers like scorpions , - vvv vvv vvv (which) had the power to injure - people for five months.
They were ruled by ... ... a king , the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew (is) Abaddon , and in - Greek vvv (it is) Apollyon.
The first - woe has passed. Behold , two woes (are) still to follow ... ....
Then the sixth angel sounded (his) trumpet , and I heard a voice from the four horns of the - golden altar - before - God
saying to the sixth angel - with the trumpet , “ Release the four angels who are bound at the - great river Euphrates. ”
(So) the four angels who had been prepared for (this) hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third - of mankind.
And the number - of mounted - troops (was) two hundred million ... ; I heard their - number.
(Now) the horses and riders ... ... ... in (my) vision looked like this : (The riders) had breastplates (the colors of) fire , - sapphire , and sulfur. - The heads of the horses (were) like (the) heads of lions , and out of their - mouths proceeded fire , - smoke , and sulfur.
A third of mankind was killed by (the) three - plagues of - fire , - - smoke , and - sulfur that proceeded from their - mouths.
For the power of the horses was in their - mouths and in their - tails ; indeed , their - tails (were) like snakes , having heads - with which - to inflict harm.
Now the rest of mankind who vvv were not killed by these - plagues vvv still did not repent of the works of their - hands. vvv vvv They did not stop worshiping - demons and idols of - - gold , - - silver , - - bronze , - - stone , and - wood , which cannot ... see (or) hear (or) walk.
Furthermore , vvv they did not repent of their - murder , - - - - sorcery , - - - - sexual immorality , (and) - - - theft.
