Revelation 9:1-3

Contemporary English Version

9 When the fifth angel blew his trumpet, I saw a star^[a] fall from the sky to earth. It was given the key to the tunnel that leads down to the deep pit. ^2 (A) As it opened the tunnel, smoke poured out like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air turned dark because of the smoke. ^3 (B) Locusts^[b] came out of the smoke and covered the earth. They were given the same power that scorpions have.
