¹⁵ And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.

⁷ And at the sounding of the first, a rain of ice and fire, mixed with blood, was sent on the earth: and a third part of the earth, and of the trees, and all green grass was burned up.

¹⁸ By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.

⁹ And destruction came on a third part of the living things which were in the sea, and on a third part of the ships.

¹¹ And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third part of the waters became bitter; and a number of men came to their end because of the waters, for they were made bitter.

¹² And at the sounding of the fourth angel, a third part of the sun, and of the moon, and of the stars was made dark, so that there was no light for a third part of the day and of the night.

⁵ And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.

¹⁰ And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.
