Revelation 9 - Interlinear Bible
The Fifth Trumpet--the Bottomless Pit
1
Then the
fifth angel sounded, and I
saw a
star from
heaven which had
fallen to the
earth ; and the
key of the
bottomless pit was
given to him.
2
He
opened the
bottomless pit, and
smoke went up out of the
pit,
like the
smoke of a
great furnace ; and the
sun and the
air were
darkened by the
smoke of the
pit.
3
Then out of the
smoke came locusts upon the
earth, and
power was
given them, as the
scorpions of the
earth have power.
4
They were
told not to
hurt the
grass of the
earth,
nor any green thing,
nor any tree, but
only * the
men who do not
have the
seal of
God on their
foreheads.
5
And they were not
permitted to
kill anyone, but to
torment for
five months ; and their
torment was
like the
torment of a
scorpion when it
stings a
man.
6
And in
those days men will
seek death and will not
find it; they will
long to
die, and
death flees from them.
8
They
had hair like the
hair of
women, and their
teeth were
like the teeth of
lions.
10
They
have tails like scorpions, and
stings ; and in their
tails is their
power to
hurt men for
five months.
11
They
have as
king over them, the
angel of the
abyss ; his
name in
Hebrew is
Abaddon, and in the
Greek he
has the
name Apollyon.
The Sixth Trumpet--Army from the East
15
And the
four angels, who had been
prepared for the
hour and
day and
month and
year, were
released,
so that they would
kill a
third of
mankind.
16
The
number of the
armies of the
horsemen was
two * hundred * million * ; I
heard the
number of them.
17
And
this is
how I
saw in the
vision the
horses and
those who
sat on them: the riders
had breastplates the color of
fire and of
hyacinth and of
brimstone ; and the
heads of the
horses are
like the
heads of
lions ; and out of their
mouths proceed fire and
smoke and
brimstone.
18
A
third of
mankind was
killed by
these three plagues, by the
fire and the
smoke and the
brimstone which
proceeded out of their
mouths.
19
For the
power of the
horses is in their
mouths and in their
tails ; for their
tails are
like serpents and
have heads, and with them they
do harm.
20
The
rest of
mankind,
who were not
killed by
these plagues, did not
repent of the
works of their
hands,
so as not to
worship demons, and the
idols of
gold and of
silver and of
brass and of
stone and of
wood,
which can neither see nor hear nor walk ;
21
and they did not
repent of their
murders nor of their
sorceries nor of their
immorality nor of their
thefts.
