Revelation 9:6
_ _ shall desire — Greek, “eagerly desire”; set their mind on.
_ _ shall flee — So B, Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic read. But A and Aleph read, “fleeth,” namely continually. In Revelation 6:16, which is at a later stage of God’s judgments, the ungodly seek annihilation, not from the torment of their suffering, but from fear of the face of the Lamb before whom they have to stand. |
Revelation 9:6
The men — That is, the men who are so tormented. |
- shall men:

Isaiah 2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Jeremiah 8:3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Hosea 10:8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
John 4:8-9 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) ... Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
