Revelation 9

Great^{(i) 1} And the fyft Angell blewe, and I saw a starre fall from heauen vnto the erth. And to him was geuen the kaye of the bottomlesse pytt: ² And he opened the bottomlesse pytt, and the smoke of the pytt arose as the smoke of a gret fornace. And the sunne, and the ayer were darckned by the reason of the smoke of the pytt. ³ And there came out of the smoke locustes vpon the erth, & vnto them was geuen power, as the scorpions of the erth haue power. ⁴ And it was commaunded them, that they shuld not hurt the grasse of the erth: nether eny grene thynge: nether eny tree: but onely those men which haue not the seale in their forheades. ⁵ And to them was commaunded, that they shulde not kyll them, but that they shulde be vexed .v. monethes, & their payne was as the payne that commeth of a scorpion, when he hath stonge a man. ⁶ And in those dayes shall men seke deeth, and shall not finde it, & shall desyre to dye, and deeth shall flye from them. ⁷ And the symilitude of the locustes was lyke vnto horsses prepared vnto battayll, & on their heades were as it were crounes, lyke vnto golde, and their faces were as it had bene the faces of men. ⁸ And they had heere as the heere of wemen. And their teethe were as the teeth of lyons. ⁹ And they had habbergions, as it were habbergions of yron. And the sounde of their winges, was as the sounde of charrettes, when many horsses runne to gether to battayle. ¹⁰ And they had tayles lyke vnto scorpions, and there were stynges in their tayles. And their power was to hurt men .v. monethes. ¹¹ And they had a kyng ouer them, which is the angell of the bottomlesse pytt, whose name in the Hebrewe tong, is Abadon: but in the Greke tonge, Apollion that is to saye: a destroyer. ¹² One wo is past, & beholde, two wooes come yet after this. ¹³ And the syxt Angell blewe, and I herde a voyce from the .iiii. corners of the golden aultre, which is before God, ¹⁴ sayinge to the syxt Angell, which had the trompe: Lose the foure Angelles, which are bounde in the grete ryuer Euphrates. ¹⁵ And the foure Angelles were loosed, whych were prepared for an houre, for a daye, for a moneth, & for ayere, for to slee the .iii. part of men. ¹⁶ And the nombre of horsmen of warre were .xx. thousande tymes .x.M. And I herde the nombre of them: ¹⁷ & thus I sawe the horses in a vision, & them that sate on them, hauynge fyrye habbergions of a Iacincte couloure, & brymstone, & the heades of the horses were as the heades of lyons. And out of their mouthes went forth fyre and smoke, & brymstone. ¹⁸ And of these thre was the thyrd part of men kylled: that is to saye, of fyre, smoke, and brymstone: whych proceded out of the mouthes of them: ¹⁹ For their power was in their mouthes & in their tayles, for their tayles were lyke vnto serpentes, & had heades, & with them they dyd hurt: ²⁰ And the remanaunt of the men whych were not kylled by these plages, repented not of the dedes of their handes that they shulde not worshyppe deuyls, & ymages of golde and syluer, and brasse, and stone, and of wood, whych nether can se, nether heare, nether go. ²¹ Also they repented not of their murther, and of their sorcery, nether of their fornycacyon, nether of their thefte.
