The Fifth Trumpet
And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss.
And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I saw a star out of the heaven fallen to the earth; and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss.
And it opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up smoke out of the pit as [the] smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke of the pit.
When he opened it, smoke poured out as though from a huge furnace, and the sunlight and air turned dark from the smoke.
And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;
Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.
and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads:
They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.
They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!
And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like to horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men;
The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.
and they had hair as women's hair, and their teeth were as of lions,
They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.
and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to war;
They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.
and they have tails like scorpions, and stings; and their power [was] in their tails to hurt men five months.
They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.
They have a king over them, the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in Greek he has [for] name Apollyon.
Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon — the Destroyer.
The first woe has passed. Behold, there come yet two woes after these things.
The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!
The Sixth Trumpet
And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before God,
And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet: and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which [is] before God,
The Sixth Trumpet Brings the Second Terror
Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.
saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound at the great river Euphrates.
And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River.”
And the four angels were loosed, who are prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they might slay the third part of men;
Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth.
and the number of the hosts of horse [was] twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.
And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those that sat upon them, having breastplates of fire and jacinth and brimstone; and the heads of the horses [were] as heads of lions, and out of their mouths goes out fire and smoke and brimstone.
And in my vision, I saw the horses and the riders sitting on them. The riders wore armor that was fiery red and dark blue and yellow. The horses had heads like lions, and fire and smoke and burning sulfur billowed from their mouths.
By these three plagues were the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which goes out of their mouths.
One-third of all the people on earth were killed by these three plagues — by the fire and smoke and burning sulfur that came from the mouths of the horses.
For the power of the horses is in their mouth and in their tails: for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and with them they injure.
Their power was in their mouths and in their tails. For their tails had heads like snakes, with the power to injure people.
And the rest of men who were not killed with these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the golden and silver and brazen and stone and wooden idols, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood — idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk!
