And the fifthangelsounded , and I saw a starfallfromheavenunto the earth:and to him was given the key of the bottomlesspit.

And he opened the bottomlesspit;and there arose a smoke out of the pit,as the smoke of a greatfurnace;and the sunand the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

And to them it was giventhat they shouldnotkillthem,butthat they should be tormentedfivemonths:andtheirtorment was as the torment of a scorpion,when he striketh a man.
