1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven fallen unto the earth: and there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there went up 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. 3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was given 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 striketh a man. 6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them. 7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as 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 rushing to war. 10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men five months. 11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek tongue he hath the name Apollyon.

12 The first Woe is past: behold, there come yet two Woes hereafter.

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14 one saying to the sixth angel that had the trumpet, Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates. 15 And the four angels were loosed, that had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, that they should kill the third part of men. 16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them. 17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone. 18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt. 20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

1 O quinto anjo tocou a trombeta. Vi então uma estrela cair do céu na terra, e foi-lhe dada a chave do poço do abismo;

2 ela o abriu e saiu do poço uma fumaça como a de uma grande fornalha. O sol e o ar obscureceram-se com a fumaça do poço.

3 Da fumaça saíram gafanhotos pela terra, e foi-lhes dado poder semelhante ao dos escorpiões da terra.

4 Mas foi-lhes dito que não causassem dano à erva, verdura, ou árvore alguma, mas somente aos homens que não têm o selo de Deus na fronte.

5 Foi-lhes ordenado que não os matassem, mas os afligissem por cinco meses. Seu tormento era como o da picada do escorpião.

6 Naqueles dias, os homens buscarão a morte e não a conseguirão; desejarão morrer, e a morte fugirá deles.

7 O aspecto desses gafanhotos era o de cavalos aparelhados para a guerra. Nas suas cabeças havia uma espécie de coroa com reflexos dourados. Seus rostos eram como rostos de homem,

8 seus cabelos como os de mulher e seus dentes, como os dentes de leão.

9 Seus tórax pareciam envoltos em ferro, e o ruído de suas asas era como o ruído de carros de muitos cavalos, correndo para a guerra.

10 Tinham caudas semelhantes à do escorpião, com ferrões e o poder de afligir os homens por cinco meses.

11 Têm eles por rei o anjo do abismo; chama-se em hebraico Abadon, e em grego, Apolion.

12 Terminado assim o primeiro ai, eis que, depois dele, vêm ainda dois outros.

13 O sexto anjo tocou a trombeta. Ouvi então uma voz que vinha dos quatro cantos do altar de ouro, que está diante de Deus,

14 e que dizia ao sexto anjo que tinha a trombeta: Solta os quatro Anjos que estão acorrentados à beira do grande rio Eufrates.

15 Então foram soltos os quatro Anjos que se conservavam preparados para a hora, o dia, o mês e o ano da matança da terça parte dos homens...

16 O número de soldados desta cavalaria era de duzentos milhões. Eu ouvi o seu número.

17 E foi assim que eu vi os cavalos e os que os montavam: estes últimos eram couraçados de uma chama sulfurosa azul. Os cavalos tinham crina como uma juba de leão e de suas narinas saíam fogo, fumaça e enxofre.

18 E uma terça parte dos homens foi morta por esses três flagelos {fogo, fumaça e enxofre} que lhes saíam das narinas.

19 Porque o poder nocivo dos cavalos estava também nas caudas; tinham cabeças como serpentes e causavam dano com elas.

20 Mas o restante dos homens, que não foram mortos por esses três flagelos, não se arrependeu das obras de suas mãos. Não cessaram de adorar o demônio e os ídolos de ouro, de prata, de bronze, de pedra e de madeira, que não podem ver, nem ouvir, nem andar.

21 Não se arrependeram de seus homicídios, seus malefícios, suas imundícies e furtos.
