New Century Version

Revelation 9:10-15 New Century Version (NCV)

10. The locusts had tails with stingers like scorpions, and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months.

11. The locusts had a king who was the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon and in the Greek language is Apollyon.

12. The first trouble is past; there are still two other troubles that will come.

13. Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God.

14. The voice said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Free the four angels who are tied at the great river Euphrates.”

15. And they let loose the four angels who had been kept ready for this hour and day and month and year so they could kill a third of all people on the earth.
