¹⁵ and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may kill the third of men;

⁷ and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.

¹⁸ by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire, and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding out of their mouth,

⁹ and die did the third of the creatures that `are' in the sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were destroyed.

¹¹ and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die of the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹² And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like manner.

⁵ and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment `is' as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;

¹⁰ and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority `is' to injure men five months;
