Revelation 9:2

---

← Revelation 9:1	Revelation 9:2 (KJV)	Revelation 9:3 →
And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.	And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.	And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
