Revelation 9:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

9 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit;^{(A) 2} he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.^{(B) 3} Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given authority like the authority of scorpions of the earth.^(C)
