    1Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth. To him was given the key to the shaft of the abyss.

    2He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke rose out of the shaft like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft.

    3Out of the smoke, locusts came down to the earth, and they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth.

    4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, any green plant, or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

    5They were not allowed to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

    7The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces.

    8They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.

    9They had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle.

    14It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, 'Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.'

    15And the four angels who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year were released to kill a third of humanity.

    16The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million; I heard their number.

    17And this is how I saw the horses in my vision: Those who rode them had breastplates that were fiery red, dark blue, and sulfur yellow. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and from their mouths came fire, smoke, and sulfur.

    18A third of humanity was killed by these three plagues: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur that came out of their mouths.

    19For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; their tails were like snakes with heads, and they used them to harm.

    20The rest of humanity, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands. They did not stop worshiping demons and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
