Revelation 9

KING JAMES BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.	1 And the fifth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I saw upon the earth, a star that had fallen from heaven, and the key to the well of the abyss was given to him.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.	2 And he opened the well of the abyss. And the smoke of the well ascended, like the smoke of a great furnace. And the sun and the air were obscured by the smoke of the well.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.	3 And locusts went forth from the smoke of the well into the earth. And power was given to them, like the power that the scorpions of the earth have.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.	4 And it was commanded of them that they must not harm the plants of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, but only those men who do not have the Seal of God upon their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.	5 And it was given to them that they would not kill them, but that they would torture them for five months. And their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when he strikes a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.	6 And in those days, men will seek death and they will not find it. And they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.	7 And the likenesses of the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were something like crowns similar to gold. And their faces were like the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.	8 And they had hair like the hair of women. And their teeth were like the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.	9 And they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the noise of their wings was like the noise of many running horses, rushing to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.	10 And they had tails similar to scorpions. And there were stingers in their tails, and these had the power to harm men for five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.	11 And they had over them a king, the Angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Doom; in Greek, Destroyer; in Latin, Exterminator.
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.	12 One woe has gone out, but behold, there are still two woes approaching afterward.
13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,	13 And the sixth Angel sounded the trumpet. And I heard a lone voice from the four horns of the golden altar, which is before the eyes of God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.	14 saying to the sixth Angel who had the trumpet: “Release the four Angels who were bound at the great river Euphrates.”
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.	15 And the four Angels were released, who had been prepared for that hour, and day, and month, and year, in order to kill one third part of men.
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.	16 And the number of the army of horsemen was two hundred million. For I heard their number.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.	17 And I also saw the horses in the vision. And those who were sitting upon them had breastplates of fire and hyacinth and sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions. And from their mouths proceeded fire and smoke and sulphur.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.	18 And one third part of men were slain by these three afflictions: by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulphur, which proceeded from their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.	19 For the power of these horses is in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails resemble serpents, having heads; and it is with these that they cause harm.
20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:	20 And the rest of men, who were not slain by these afflictions, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they would not worship demons, or idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.	21 And they did not repent from their murders, nor from their drugs, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.
