Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Revelation
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Revelation
009:009 They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel;
and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast
number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.
009:010 They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings;
and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind
for five months.
009:011 The locusts had a king over them--the angel of the bottomless pit,
whose name in Hebrew is 'Abaddon,' while in the Greek
he is called 'Apollyon.'
009:012 The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come.
009:013 The sixth angel blew his trumpet; and I heard a single voice
speaking from among the horns of the golden incense altar
which is in the presence of God.
009:014 It said to the sixth angel--the angel who had the trumpet,
"Set at liberty the four angels who are prisoners near
the great river Euphrates."
009:015 And the four angels who had been kept in readiness for
that hour, day, month, and year, were set at liberty,
so that they might kill a third part of mankind.
009:016 The number of the cavalry was two hundred millions;
I heard their number.
009:017 And this was the appearance of the horses which I saw in my vision--
and of their riders. The body-armour of the riders was red,
blue and yellow; and the horses' heads were shaped like
the heads of lions, while from their mouths there came fire
and smoke and sulphur.
009:018 By these three plagues a third part of mankind were destroyed--
by the fire and the smoke, and by the sulphur which came
from their mouths.
009:019 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails;
their tails being like serpents, and having heads, and it
is with them that they inflict injury.
009:020 But the rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues,
did not even then repent and leave the things they had made,
so as to cease worshipping the demons, and the idols of gold
and silver, bronze, stone, and wood, which can neither see
nor hear, nor move.
009:021 Nor did they repent of their murders, their practice of magic,
their fornication, or their thefts.
010:001 Then I saw another strong angel coming down from Heaven.
He was robed in a cloud, and over his head was the rainbow.
His face was like the sun, and his feet resembled pillars of fire.
010:002 In his hand he held a small scroll unrolled; and, planting his
right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
010:003 he cried out in a loud voice which resembled the roar of a lion.
And when he had cried out, each of the seven peals of thunder
uttered its own message.
