009:010 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months. 009:011 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon,"{"Abaddon" is a Hebrew word that means ruin, destruction, or the place of destruction} but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon."{"Apollyon" means "Destroyer."} 009:012 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this. 009:013 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God, 009:014 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!" 009:015 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind. 009:016 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million{literally, "ten thousands of ten thousands"}. I heard the number of them. 009:017 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur. 009:018 By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths. 009:019 For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm. 009:020 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't 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. 009:021 They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries,{The word for "sorceries" (pharmakeia) also implies the use of potions, poisons, and drugs} nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts. 010:001 I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire. 010:002 He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land. 010:003 He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 010:004 When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, "Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don't write them." 010:005 The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky, 010:006 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven
