9

Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

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:

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.

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.

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.

And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

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.

Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

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.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

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.

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

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.

And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
