Revelation 9–17

And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw ^aa star ^bfall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given ^cthe key of ^dthe bottomless pit. ²And he opened ^dthe bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of ^ea great furnace; and ^fthe sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. ³And there came out of the smoke ^glocusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as ^hthe scorpions of the earth have power. ⁴And it was commanded them ⁱthat they should not hurt ^kthe grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not ^lthe seal of God in their foreheads. ⁵And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented ^mfive months: and their torment was as the torment of ^ha scorpion, when he striketh a man. ⁶And in those days ⁿshall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. ⁷And ^othe shapes of ^gthe locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were ^pcrowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces ^qof men. ⁸And they had hair as the hair of women, and ^rtheir teeth were as the teeth of lions. ⁹And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was ^sas the sound of chariots of many horses running ^tto battle. ¹⁰And they had tails like unto ^hscorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men ^mfive months. ¹¹And they had ^ua king over them, which is ^athe angel of ^dthe bottomless pit, whose name ^vin the Hebrew tongue is ^wAbaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name ^xApollyon. ^12yOne woe is past; and behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

¹³And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from ^zthe four horns of ^athe golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose ^bthe four angels which are bound in ^cthe great river Euphrates. ¹⁵And ^bthe four angels were loosed, which were prepared for ^dan hour, and ^efa day, and ^ga month, and ^fa year, for to slay ^ffthe third part of men. ¹⁶And ^hthe number of the army ⁱof the horsemen were ^htwo hundred thousand thousand: ^kand I heard the number of them. ¹⁷And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and ^lof jacinth, and brimstone: and ^mthe heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued ⁿfire and smoke and brimstone. ¹⁸By these three was the third part of men killed, ⁿby the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. ¹⁹For 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. ²⁰And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet ⁿⁿrepented not of ^othe works of their hands, that they should not worship ^pdevils, and ^qidols ^rsof gold, and ^rssilver, and ^sbrass, and ^sstone, and ^sof wood: ^rswhich neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: ²¹neither repented they of their ^tmurders, nor of their ^tusorceries, nor of their ^tvfornication, nor of their thefts.

X.And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, ^aclothed with a cloud: and ^ba rainbow was upon his head, and ^chis face was as it were the sun, and ^dhis feet as ^epillars of fire: ²and ^fhe had in his hand a little book open: and ^ghe set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, ³and cried with a loud voice, as when ^ha lion ⁱroareth: and when he had cried, seven ^jthunders uttered their voices. ⁴And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and ^kI heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, ^lSeal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and ^llwrite them not. ⁵And the angel which I saw ^gstand upon the sea and upon the earth ^mlifted up his hand to heaven, ⁶and ^msware by ⁿhim that liveth for ever and ever, ^owho created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, ^pthat there should be time no longer: ⁷but ^qin the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, ^qqthe mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

⁸And ^kthe voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take ^fthe little book which is open in the hand of the angel ^gwhich standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. ⁹And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and ^reat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. ¹⁰And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ^sate it up; and ^tit was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, ^umy belly was bitter. ¹¹And he said unto me, ^vThou must prophesy again before many ^wpeoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

XI.And there was given me ^aa reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and ^bthe altar, and them that worship therein. ²But ^cthe ^dcourt which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto ^ethe Gentiles: and ^fthe holy city shall they ^etread under foot ^gforty and two months. ³And I will give power unto my two ^hwitnesses, and ^hthey shall prophesy ^gia thousand two hundred and threescore days, ^kclothed in sackcloth. ⁴These are ^lthe two olive trees, and ^mthe two candlesticks ⁿstanding before the God of the earth. ⁵And if any man will hurt them, ^ofire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, ^phe must in this manner be killed. ⁶These have power ^qto shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters ^rto turn them to blood, and ^sto smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. ⁷And when they shall have finished their ^ttestimony, ^uthe beast that ascendeth out of ^vthe bottomless pit ^wshall make war against them, and ^wshall overcome them, and kill them. ⁸And their ^xdead bodies shall lie in the street of ^ythe great city, which spiritually is called ^zSodom and ^aEgypt, ^bwhere also our Lord was crucified. ⁹And they of ^cthe people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their ^xdead bodies three days and a half, and ^dshall not suffer their ^xdead bodies to be put in graves. ¹⁰And ^ethey that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and ^fshall send gifts one to another; because ^gthese two prophets ^htormented ^ethem that dwelt on the earth. ¹¹And after ⁱthree days and a half ^kthe spirit of life from God entered into them, and ^lthey stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. ¹²And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, ^mCome up hither. And ⁿthey ascended up to heaven ^oin a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. ¹³And the same hour ^pwas there a great earthquake, and ^qthe tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and ^rgave glory to ^sthe God of heaven. ^14tThe second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

¹⁵And ^uthe seventh angel sounded; and ^vthere were great voices in heaven, saying, ^wThe kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of ^xhis Christ; and ^yhe shall reign for ever and ever. ¹⁶And ^zthe four and twenty elders, which sat before God ^zon their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, ¹⁷saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God ^aAlmighty, ^bwhich art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and ^chast reigned. ¹⁸And the nations were angry, and ^dthy wrath is come, and ^ethe time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants ^eethe prophets, and to the saints, and ^fthem that fear thy name, ^fgsmall and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

¹⁹And ^hthe temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple ⁱthe ark of his ^ktestament: and there ^lwere lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and ^man earthquake, and ⁿgreat hail.

XII.And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman ^aclothed with ^bthe sun, and ^cthe moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of ^dtwelve stars: ²and ^eshe being with child cried, ^ftravailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. ³And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great ^gred ^hdragon, ⁱhaving seven heads and ^ijten horns, and seven ^kcrowns upon his heads. ⁴And his tail ^ldrew ^mthe third part of the stars of heaven, and ⁿdid cast them to the earth: and ^hthe dragon stood before ^othe woman which was ready to be delivered, ^pfor to devour her child as soon as it was born. ⁵And she brought forth a man child, who was to ^qrule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was ^rcaught up unto God, and to his throne. ⁶And ^othe woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there ^sa thousand two hundred and threescore days.

⁷And there was war in heaven: ^tMichael and his angels fought against ^hthe dragon; and the dragon fought and ^uhis angels, ⁸and prevailed not; ^vneither was their place found any more in heaven. ⁹And the great ^hdragon ^wwas cast out, ^xthat old ^yserpent, called the devil, and ^zSatan, ^yawhich deceiveth ^bthe whole world: ^che was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. ¹⁰And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come ^dsalvation, and ^ddstrength, and ^ethe kingdom of our God, and the power of ^ehis Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, ^fwhich accused them before our God ^gday and night. ¹¹And ^hthey overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by ⁱthe word of their testimony; and ^kthey loved not their lives unto the death. ¹²Therefore ^lrejoice, ye heavens, and ye that ^mdwell in them. ⁿWoe to the inhabiters of the earth…
