The Fifth Trumpet—the Bottomless Pit

1 Then° the afifth° angel° sounded°, and I saw° a bstar° from heaven° which had fallen° to the earth°; and the ckey° of the Idbottomless° pit° was given° to him. 2 He opened° the Ibottomless° pit°, and asmoke° went° up out of the pit°, like° the smoke° of a great° furnace°; and bthe sun° and the air° were darkened° by the smoke° of the pit°. 3 Then° out of the smoke° came° alocusts° Iupon the earth°, and power° was given° them, as the bscorpions° of the earth° have° power°. 4 They were told° not to ahurt° the bgrass° of the earth°, nor° any° green° thing°, nor° any° tree°, but only°° the men° who° do not have° the cseal° of God° on their foreheads°. 5 And Ithey were not permitted° to kill° IIanyone°, but to torment° for afive° months°; and their torment° was like° the torment° of a bscorpion° when° it IIIstings° a man°. 6 And in those° days° amen° will seek° death° and will not find° it; they will long° to die°, and death° flees° from them.

At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth from heaven, to whom is given the key of the bottomless pit.

1 ¶ Andº the² fifthº angelº sounded,ºª andº I sawºª a starº fallºª fromº heavenº untoº the² earth:º andº to himº was givenºª the² keyº of the² bottomlessº pit.º

[1] Is 14:12; Lk 8:31; 10:18; Ro 10:7; 2Th 2:3; 2Ti 3:1; Rv 1:18, 20; 8:6, 10, 12; 9:2, 11, 12; 11:14; 17:8; 20:1, 10.

He openeth the pit, and there come forth locusts like scorpions.

2 Andº he openedºª the² bottomlessº pit;º andº there aroseºª a smokeº out ofº the² pit,º asº the smokeº of a greatº furnace;º andº the² sunº andº the² airº were darkenedºª by reason ofº the² smokeº of the² pit.º 3 Andº there cameºª out ofº the² smokeº locustsº uponº the² earth:º andº unto themº was givenºª power,º asº the² scorpionsº of the² earthº haveºª power.º 4 Andº it was commandedºª themº that¹ª² they should¹ª not¹² hurtºª the² grassº of the² earth,º neitherº anyº green thing,º neitherº anyº tree;º butº onlyº those menº whichº haveºª notº the² sealº of Godº inº their¹² foreheads.º 5 Andº to themº it was givenºª that¹ª² they should¹ª not¹² killºª them,º butº thatº they should be tormentedºª fiveº months:º andº their¹² tormentº [was] as¹ the tormentº of a scorpion,º whenº he strikethºª a man.º 6 Andº inº thoseº daysº shall menº seekºª death,º andº shall¹ª notº findºª it;º andº shall desireºª to die,ºª andº deathº shall fleeºª fromº them.º 7 Andº the² shapesº of the² locustsº [were] like¹ unto² horsesº preparedºª untoº battle;º andº onº their¹² headsº [were] as it wereº crownsº likeº gold,º andº their¹² facesº [were] asº the facesº of men.º 8 Andº they hadºª hairº asº the hairº of women,º andº their¹² teethº wereºª asº [the teeth] of lions.º 9 Andº they hadºª breastplates,º as it wereº breastplatesº of iron;º andº the² soundº of their¹² wingsº [was] asº the soundº of chariotsº of manyº horsesº runningºª toº battle.º 10 Andº they hadºª tailsº like¹ unto² scorpions,º andº there wereºª stingsº inº their¹² tails:º andº their¹² powerº [was] to hurtºª menº fiveº months.º 11 Andº they hadºª a kingº overº them,¹² [which is] the² angelº of the² bottomless pit,º whoseº nameº in the Hebrew tongueº [is] Abaddon,º butº inº the² Greek tongueº hathºª [his] nameº Apollyon.º

Four angels are let loose, that were bound.

14 Sayingºª to the² sixthº angelº whichº hadºª the² trumpet,º Looseºª the² fourº angelsº which¹ are boundºª inº the² greatº riverº Euphrates.º 15 Andº the² fourº angelsº were loosed,ºª which¹ were preparedºª forº an hour,º andº a day,º andº a month,º andº a year,º for toº slayºª the² third partº of men.º 16 Andº the² numberº of the armyº of the² horsemenº [were] two hundred¹ thousand¹ thousand:º² andº I heardºª the² numberº of them.º 17 Andº thusº I sawºª the² horsesº inº the² vision,º andº them that satºª onº them,º havingºª breastplatesº of fire,º andº of jacinth,º andº brimstone:º andº the² headsº of the² horsesº [were] asº the headsº of lions;º andº out ofº their¹² mouthsº issuedºª fireº andº smokeº andº brimstone.º 18 Byº theseº threeº was¹ª the² third partº of menº killed,ºª byº the² fire,º andº byº the² smoke,º andº byº the² brimstone,º which¹ issuedºª out ofº their¹² mouths.º 19 Forº their¹² powerº isºªª¹ inº their¹² mouth,º andº inº their¹² tails:º forº their¹² tailsº [were] like¹ unto² serpents,º and hadºª heads,º andº withº themº they do hurt.ºª 20 Andº the² restº of the² menº whichº were¹ª notº killedºª byº theseº plaguesº yet¹ª repented¹ª notº² ofº the² worksº of their¹² hands,º that¹ª² they should¹ª not¹² worshipºª devils,º andº idolsº of gold,º andº silver,º andº brass,º andº stone,º andº of wood:º whichº neitherº canºª see,ºª norº hear,ºª norº walk:ºª 21 Neitherºº repented² they¹ª ofº their¹² murders,º norº ofº their¹² sorceries,º norº ofº their¹² fornication,º norº ofº their¹² thefts.º
