Revelation 9:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Their tails were like a scorpion's tail with a stinger that had the power to hurt someone for five months. ¹¹ Their king was the angel in charge of the deep pit. In Hebrew his name was Abaddon, and in Greek it was Apollyon.^[a]

¹² The first horrible thing has now happened! But wait. Two more horrible things will happen soon.
