Psa 17:3 I always wonder why Yahweh appeared to Samuel that night. Was Eli's concience clear? What was he thinking about before he fell asleep or was he tossing and turning? Ecc 2:22 Was Eli thinking about hard done to he was? Had Samuel just concluded his prayers?
What do we think about when we go to bed? 1Kin 21:4 Do we go to bed early and sulk if we have a bad day?
Job was ready to rise early Job 1:5 to perform the will of God, and we cannot get up early if we lie in bed tossing and turning can we? Prov 8:17 .
Psa 1:1 we see 3 progressions or movements, sitting, standing and then walking, Deut 6:6 here we see the same priniple, we should be studying Gods word at all times when we go to bed and when we get up.
So how do we sleep at night? Psa 4:4 Dont look back and think "i have had it bad today, someone upset me today i will get my own back tommorrow", (Mic 2:1 tells us why for we plan evil things when we lie in bed). Rather take Davids example in Psa 4:4 and say "yes i have had a bad day, but is the father trying to tell me something"? Or look at how great he is, how have i failed him today?
Psa 63:5 has the answer "remember HIM in the night watches"
Thats how we sleep soundly Isa 26:3 becuase our minds shall find peace.
We have two different minds at bedtime seen in eli and Samuel, 1 responisive to Yahweh, and one whose lamps had grown dim. Which one are we tonight?

3:2,3 Why was the young Samuel lying down in the "temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was" (v3 ESV)? Why wasn't Samuel being looked after by a family rather than being resident in the tabernacle under the supervision of Eli, an old, infirm and blind man? Even Eli should have been looked after by others given his physical infirmity. It may be that Eli knew his sons were so corrupt that the impressionable Samuel might be corrupted if fostered by them and their families. It could also be that Eli, always protective of the ark, wanted to be a kind of security person so that the ark and the tabernacle were not vandalised or desecrated.
So he lived, along with Samuel in the tabernacle. A desperate situation in Israel!

1. And the child <5288> Samuel <8050> ministered <8334>(8764) unto the LORD <3068> before <6440> Eli <5941>. And the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> was precious <3368> in those days <3117>; there was no open <6555>(8737) vision <2377>.
2. And it came to pass at that time <3117>, when Eli <5941> was laid down <7901>(8802) in his place <4725>, and his eyes <5869> began <2490>(8689) to wax dim <3544>, that he could <3201>(8799) not see <7200>(8800);
3. And ere the lamp <5216> of God <430> went out <3518>(8799) in the temple <1964> of the LORD <3068>, where the ark <727> of God <430> was, and Samuel <8050> was laid down <7901>(8802) to sleep;
4. That the LORD <3068> called <7121>(8799) Samuel <8050>: and he answered <559>(8799), Here am I.
5. And he ran <7323>(8799) unto Eli <5941>, and said <559>(8799), Here am I <2009>; for thou calledst <7121>(8804) me. And he said <559>(8799), I called <7121>(8804) not; lie down <7901>(8798) again <7725>(8798). And he went <3212>(8799) and lay down <7901>(8799).
6. And the LORD <3068> called <7121>(8800) yet again <3254>(8686), Samuel <8050>. And Samuel <8050> arose <6965>(8799) and went <3212>(8799) to Eli <5941>, and said <559>(8799), Here am I; for thou didst call <7121>(8804) me. And he answered <559>(8799), I called <7121>(8804) not, my son <1121>; lie down <7901>(8798) again <7725>(8798).
7. Now Samuel <8050> did not yet <2962> know <3045>(8804) the LORD <3068>, neither was the word <1697> of the LORD <3068> yet revealed <1540>(8735) unto him.
8. And the LORD <3068> called <7121>(8800) Samuel <8050> again <3254>(8686) the third time <7992>. And he arose <6965>(8799) and went <3212>(8799) to Eli <5941>, and said <559>(8799), Here am I; for thou didst call <7121>(8804) me. And Eli <5941> perceived <995>(8799) that the LORD <3068> had called <7121>(8802) the child <5288>.
9. Therefore Eli <5941> said <559>(8799) unto Samuel <8050>, Go <3212>(8798), lie down <7901>(8798): and it shall be, if he call <7121>(8799) thee, that thou shalt say <559>(8804), Speak <1696>(8761), LORD <3068>; for thy servant <5650> heareth <8085>(8802). So Samuel <8050> went <3212>(8799) and lay down <7901>(8799) in his place <4725>.
10. And the LORD <3068> came <935>(8799), and stood <3320>(8691), and called <7121>(8799) as at other times <6471>, Samuel <8050>, Samuel <8050>. Then Samuel <8050> answered <559>(8799), Speak <1696>(8761); for thy servant <5650> heareth <8085>(8802).
11. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) to Samuel <8050>, Behold, I will do <6213>(8802) a thing <1697> in Israel <3478>, at which both <8147> the ears <241> of every one that heareth <8085>(8802) it shall tingle <6750>(8799).
12. In that day <3117> I will perform <6965>(8686) against Eli <5941> all things which I have spoken <1696>(8765) concerning <413> his house <1004>: when I begin <2490>(8687), I will also make an end <3615>(8763).
13. For I have told <5046>(8689) him that I will judge <8199>(8802) his house <1004> for <5704> ever <5769> for the iniquity <5771> which he knoweth <3045>(8804); because his sons <1121> made themselves vile <7043>(8764), and he restrained <3543>(8765) them not.
14. And therefore I have sworn <7650>(8738) unto the house <1004> of Eli <5941>, that the iniquity <5771> of Eli's <5941> house <1004> shall not be purged <3722>(8691) with sacrifice <2077> nor offering <4503> for <5704> ever <5769>.
15. And Samuel <8050> lay <7901>(8799) until the morning <1242>, and opened <6605>(8799) the doors <1817> of the house <1004> of the LORD <3068>. And Samuel <8050> feared <3372>(8804) to shew <5046>(8687) Eli <5941> the vision <4759>.
16. Then Eli <5941> called <7121>(8799) Samuel <8050>, and said <559>(8799), Samuel <8050>, my son <1121>. And he answered <559>(8799), Here am I.
17. And he said <559>(8799), What is the thing <1697> that the LORD hath said <1696>(8765) unto thee? I pray thee hide <3582>(8762) it not from me: God <430> do so <6213>(8799) to thee, and more also <3254>(8686), if thou hide <3582>(8762) any thing <1697> from me of all the things <1697> that he said <1696>(8765) unto thee.
18. And Samuel <8050> told <5046>(8686) him every whit <1697>, and hid <3582>(8765) nothing from him. And he said <559>(8799), It is the LORD <3068>: let him do <6213>(8799) what seemeth <5869> him good <2896>.
19. And Samuel <8050> grew <1431>(8799), and the LORD <3068> was with him, and did let none of his words <1697> fall <5307>(8689) to the ground <776>.
20. And all Israel <3478> from Dan <1835> even to Beersheba <884> knew <3045>(8799) that Samuel <8050> was established <539>(8737) to be a prophet <5030> of the LORD <3068>.
21. And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200>(8736) again <3254>(8686) in Shiloh <7887>: for the LORD <3068> revealed <1540>(8738) himself to Samuel <8050> in Shiloh <7887> by the word <1697> of the LORD <3068>.

1. Listen <8085>(8798), O isles <339>, unto me; and hearken <7181>(8685), ye people <3816>, from far <7350>; The LORD <3068> hath called <7121>(8804) me from the womb <990>; from the bowels <4578> of my mother <517> hath he made mention <2142>(8689) of my name <8034>.
2. And he hath made <7760>(8799) my mouth <6310> like a sharp <2299> sword <2719>; in the shadow <6738> of his hand <3027> hath he hid <2244>(8689) me, and made <7760>(8799) me a polished <1305>(8803) shaft <2671>; in his quiver <827> hath he hid <5641>(8689) me;
3. And said <559>(8799) unto me, Thou art my servant <5650>, O Israel <3478>, in whom I will be glorified <6286>(8691).
4. Then I said <559>(8804), I have laboured <3021>(8804) in vain <7385>, I have spent <3615>(8765) my strength <3581> for nought <8414>, and in vain <1892>: yet surely <403> my judgment <4941> is with the LORD <3068>, and my work <6468> with my God <430>.
5. And now, saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068> that formed <3335>(8802) me from the womb <990> to be his servant <5650>, to bring <7725> <0> Jacob <3290> again <7725>(8788) to him, Though Israel <3478> be not gathered <622>(8735), yet shall I be glorious <3513>(8735) in the eyes <5869> of the LORD <3068>, and my God <430> shall be my strength <5797>.
6. And he said <559>(8799), It is a light thing <7043>(8738) that thou shouldest be my servant <5650> to raise up <6965>(8687) the tribes <7626> of Jacob <3290>, and to restore <7725>(8687) the preserved <5341>(8803)(8675) <5336> of Israel <3478>: I will also give <5414>(8804) thee for a light <216> to the Gentiles <1471>, that thou mayest be my salvation <3444> unto the end <7097> of the earth <776>.
7. Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, the Redeemer <1350>(8802) of Israel <3478>, and his Holy One <6918>, to him whom man <5315> despiseth <960>, to him whom the nation <1471> abhorreth <8581>(8764), to a servant <5650> of rulers <4910>(8802), Kings <4428> shall see <7200>(8799) and arise <6965>(8804), princes <8269> also shall worship <7812>(8691), because of the LORD <3068> that is faithful <539>(8737), and the Holy One <6918> of Israel <3478>, and he shall choose <977>(8799) thee.
8. Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, In an acceptable <7522> time <6256> have I heard <6030>(8804) thee, and in a day <3117> of salvation <3444> have I helped <5826>(8804) thee: and I will preserve <5341>(8799) thee, and give <5414>(8799) thee for a covenant <1285> of the people <5971>, to establish <6965>(8687) the earth <776>, to cause to inherit <5157>(8687) the desolate <8074>(8802) heritages <5159>;
9. That thou mayest say <559>(8800) to the prisoners <631>(8803), Go forth <3318>(8798); to them that are in darkness <2822>, Shew <1540>(8734) yourselves. They shall feed <7462>(8799) in the ways <1870>, and their pastures <4830> shall be in all high places <8205>.
10. They shall not hunger <7456>(8799) nor thirst <6770>(8799); neither shall the heat <8273> nor sun <8121> smite <5221>(8686) them: for he that hath mercy <7355>(8764) on them shall lead <5090>(8762) them, even by the springs <4002> of water <4325> shall he guide <5095>(8762) them.
11. And I will make <7760>(8804) all my mountains <2022> a way <1870>, and my highways <4546> shall be exalted <7311>(8799).
12. Behold, these shall come <935>(8799) from far <7350>: and, lo, these from the north <6828> and from the west <3220>; and these from the land <776> of Sinim <5515>.
13. Sing <7442>(8798), O heavens <8064>; and be joyful <1523>(8798), O earth <776>; and break forth <6476>(8798) into singing <7440>, O mountains <2022>: for the LORD <3068> hath comforted <5162>(8765) his people <5971>, and will have mercy <7355>(8762) upon his afflicted <6041>.
14. But Zion <6726> said <559>(8799), The LORD <3068> hath forsaken <5800>(8804) me, and my Lord <136> hath forgotten <7911>(8804) me.
15. Can a woman <802> forget <7911>(8799) her sucking child <5764>, that she should not have compassion <7355>(8763) on the son <1121> of her womb <990>? yea, they may forget <7911>(8799), yet will I not forget <7911>(8799) thee.
16. Behold, I have graven <2710>(8804) thee upon the palms of my hands <3709>; thy walls <2346> are continually <8548> before me.
17. Thy children <1121> shall make haste <4116>(8765); thy destroyers <2040>(8764) and they that made thee waste <2717>(8688) shall go forth <3318>(8799) of thee.
18. Lift up <5375>(8798) thine eyes <5869> round about <5439>, and behold <7200>(8798): all these gather themselves together <6908>(8738), and come <935>(8804) to thee. As I live <2416>, saith <5002>(8803) the LORD <3068>, thou shalt surely clothe <3847>(8799) thee with them all, as with an ornament <5716>, and bind <7194>(8762) them on thee, as a bride <3618> doeth.
19. For thy waste <2723> and thy desolate places <8074>(8802), and the land <776> of thy destruction <2035>, shall even now be too narrow <3334>(8799) by reason of the inhabitants <3427>(8802), and they that swallowed thee up <1104>(8764) shall be far away <7368>(8804).
20. The children <1121> which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost <7923> the other, shall say <559>(8799) again in thine ears <241>, The place <4725> is too strait <6862> for me: give <5066>(8798) place <4725> to me that I may dwell <3427>(8799).
21. Then shalt thou say <559>(8804) in thine heart <3824>, Who hath begotten <3205>(8804) me these, seeing I have lost my children <7921>(8803), and am desolate <1565>, a captive <1540>(8802), and removing to and fro <5493>(8803)? and who hath brought up <1431>(8765) these? Behold, I was left <7604>(8738) alone; these, where <375> had they been?
22. Thus saith <559>(8804) the Lord <136> GOD <3069>, Behold, I will lift up <5375>(8799) mine hand <3027> to the Gentiles <1471>, and set up <7311>(8686) my standard <5251> to the people <5971>: and they shall bring <935>(8689) thy sons <1121> in their arms <2684>, and thy daughters <1323> shall be carried <5375>(8735) upon their shoulders <3802>.
23. And kings <4428> shall be thy nursing fathers <539>(8802), and their queens <8282> thy nursing mothers <3243>(8688): they shall bow down <7812>(8691) to thee with their face <639> toward the earth <776>, and lick up <3897>(8762) the dust <6083> of thy feet <7272>; and thou shalt know <3045>(8804) that I am the LORD <3068>: for they shall not be ashamed <954>(8799) that wait <6960>(8802) for me.
24. Shall the prey <4455> be taken <3947>(8714) from the mighty <1368>, or the lawful <6662> captive <7628> delivered <4422>(8735)?
25. But thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, Even the captives <7628> of the mighty <1368> shall be taken away <3947>(8714), and the prey <4455> of the terrible <6184> shall be delivered <4422>(8735): for I will contend <7378>(8799) with him that contendeth <3401> with thee, and I will save <3467>(8686) thy children <1121>.
26. And I will feed <398>(8689) them that oppress <3238>(8688) thee with their own flesh <1320>; and they shall be drunken <7937>(8799) with their own blood <1818>, as with sweet wine <6071>: and all flesh <1320> shall know <3045>(8804) that I the LORD <3068> am thy Saviour <3467>(8688) and thy Redeemer <1350>(8802), the mighty One <46> of Jacob <3290>.

1. And <2532> after <3326> these things <5023> I saw <1492>(5627) four <5064> angels <32> standing <2476>(5761) on <1909> the four <5064> corners <1137> of the earth <1093>, holding <2902>(5723) the four <5064> winds <417> of the earth <1093>, that <3363> <0> the wind <417> should <4154> <0> not <3363> blow <4154>(5725) on <1909> the earth <1093>, nor <3383> on <1909> the sea <2281>, nor <3383> on <1909> any <3956> tree <1186>.

After <3326> this <5023> I beheld <1492>(5627), and <2532>, lo <2400>(5628), a great <4183> multitude <3793>, which <3739> no man <3762> could <1410>(5711) number <705>(5658) <846>, of <1537> all <3956> nations <1484>, and <2532> kindreds <5443>, and <2532> people <2992>, and <2532> tongues <1100>, stood <2476>(5761) before <1799> the throne <2362>, and <2532> before <1799> the Lamb <721>, clothed <4016>(5772) with white <3022> robes <4749>, and <2532> palms <5404> in <1722> their <846> hands <5495>;
10. And <2532> cried <2896>(5723) with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, saying <3004>(5723), Salvation <4991> to our <2257> God <2316> which <3588> sitteth <2521>(5740) upon <1909> the throne <2362>, and <2532> unto the Lamb <721>.
11. And <2532> all <3956> the angels <32> stood <2476>(5715) round about <2945> the throne <2362>, and <2532> about the elders <4245> and <2532> the four <5064> beasts <2226>, and <2532> fell <4098>(5627) before <1799> the throne <2362> on <1909> their <848> faces <4383>, and <2532> worshipped <4352>(5656) God <2316>,
12. Saying <3004>(5723), Amen <281>: Blessing <2129>, and <2532> glory <1391>, and <2532> wisdom <4678>, and <2532> thanksgiving <2169>, and <2532> honour <5092>, and <2532> power <1411>, and <2532> might <2479>, be unto our <2257> God <2316> for <1519> ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
13. And <2532> one <1520> of <1537> the elders <4245> answered <611>(5662), saying <3004>(5723) unto me <3427>, What <5101> are <1526>(5748) these <3778> which <3588> are arrayed in <4016>(5772) white <3022> robes <4749>? and <2532> whence <4159> came they <2064>(5627)?
14. And <2532> I said <2046>(5758) unto him <848>, Sir <2962>, thou <4771> knowest <1492>(5758). And <2532> he said <2036>(5627) to me <3427>, These <3778> are they <1526>(5748) which came <2064>(5740) out of <1537> great <3173> tribulation <2347>, and <2532> have washed <4150>(5656) their <848> robes <4749>, and <2532> made <3021> <0> them <4749> <846> white <3021>(5656) in <1722> the blood <129> of the Lamb <721>.
15. Therefore <1223> <5124> are they <1526>(5748) before <1799> the throne <2362> of God <2316>, and <2532> serve <3000>(5719) him <846> day <2250> and <2532> night <3571> in <1722> his <846> temple <3485>: and <2532> he that sitteth <2521>(5740) on <1909> the throne <2362> shall dwell <4637>(5692) among <1909> them <846>.
16. They shall hunger <3983>(5692) no <3756> more <2089>, neither <3761> thirst <1372>(5692) any more <2089>; neither <3761> <3361> shall <4098> <0> the sun <2246> light <4098>(5632) on <1909> them <846>, nor <3761> any <3956> heat <2738>.
17. For <3754> the Lamb <721> which <3588> is in <303> the midst <3319> of the throne <2362> shall feed <4165>(5692) them <846>, and <2532> shall lead <3594>(5692) them <846> unto <1909> living <2198>(5723) fountains <4077> of waters <5204>: and <2532> God <2316> shall wipe away <1813>(5692) all <3956> tears <1144> from <575> their <846> eyes <3788>.
1. And <2532> when <3753> he had opened <455>(5656) the seventh <1442> seal <4973>, there was <1096>(5633) silence <4602> in <1722> heaven <3772> about the space of <5613> half an hour <2256>.
2. And <2532> I saw <1492>(5627) the seven <2033> angels <32> which <3739> stood <2476>(5758) before <1799> God <2316>; and <2532> to them <846> were given <1325>(5681) seven <2033> trumpets <4536>.
3. And <2532> another <243> angel <32> came <2064>(5627) and <2532> stood <2476>(5681) at <1909> the altar <2379>, having <2192>(5723) a golden <5552> censer <3031>; and <2532> there was given <1325>(5681) unto him <846> much <4183> incense <2368>, that <2443> he should offer <1325>(5661) it with the prayers <4335> of all <3956> saints <40> upon <1909> the golden <5552> altar <2379> which <3588> was before <1799> the throne <2362>.
4. And <2532> the smoke <2586> of the incense <2368>, which came with the prayers <4335> of the saints <40>, ascended up <305>(5627) before <1799> God <2316> out of <1537> the angel's <32> hand <5495>.
5. And <2532> the angel <32> took <2983>(5758) the censer <3031>, and <2532> filled <1072>(5656) it <846> with <1537> fire <4442> of the altar <2379>, and <2532> cast <906>(5627) it into <1519> the earth <1093>: and <2532> there were <1096>(5633) voices <5456>, and <2532> thunderings <1027>, and <2532> lightnings <796>, and <2532> an earthquake <4578>.
6. And <2532> the seven <2033> angels <32> which <3588> had <2192>(5723) the seven <2033> trumpets <4536> prepared <2090>(5656) themselves <1438> to <2443> sound <4537>(5661).
7. <2532> The first <4413> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> there followed <1096>(5633) hail <5464> and <2532> fire <4442> mingled <3396>(5772) with blood <129>, and <2532> they were cast <906>(5681) upon <1519> the earth <1093>: and <2532> the third part <5154> of trees <1186> was burnt up <2618>(5648), and <2532> all <3956> green <5515> grass <5528> was burnt up <2618>(5648).
8. And <2532> the second <1208> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> as it were <5613> a great <3173> mountain <3735> burning <2545>(5746) with fire <4442> was cast <906>(5681) into <1519> the sea <2281>: and <2532> the third part <5154> of the sea <2281> became <1096>(5633) blood <129>;
9. And <2532> the third part <5154> of the creatures <2938> which <3588> were in <1722> the sea <2281>, and had <2192>(5723) life <5590>, died <599>(5627); and <2532> the third part <5154> of the ships <4143> were destroyed <1311>(5648).
10. And <2532> the third <5154> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> there fell <4098>(5627) a great <3173> star <792> from <1537> heaven <3772>, burning <2545>(5746) as it were <5613> a lamp <2985>, and <2532> it fell <4098>(5627) upon <1909> the third part <5154> of the rivers <4215>, and <2532> upon <1909> the fountains <4077> of waters <5204>;
11. And <2532> the name <3686> of the star <792> is called <3004>(5743) Wormwood <894>: and <2532> the third part <5154> of the waters <5204> became <1096>(5736) <1519> wormwood <894>; and <2532> many <4183> men <444> died <599>(5627) of <1537> the waters <5204>, because <3754> they were made bitter <4087>(5681).
12. And <2532> the fourth <5067> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> the third part <5154> of the sun <2246> was smitten <4141>(5648), and <2532> the third part <5154> of the moon <4582>, and <2532> the third part <5154> of the stars <792>; so as <2443> the third part <5154> of them <846> was darkened <4654>(5686), and <2532> the day <2250> shone <5316>(5725) not <3361> for a third part <5154> of it <848>, and <2532> the night <3571> likewise <3668>.
13. And <2532> I beheld <1492>(5627), and <2532> heard <191>(5656) an <1520> angel <32> flying <4072>(5740) through <1722> the midst of heaven <3321>, saying <3004>(5723) with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, Woe <3759>, woe <3759>, woe <3759>, to the inhabiters <2730>(5723) of <1909> the earth <1093> by reason of <1537> the other <3062> voices <5456> of the trumpet <4536> of the three <5140> angels <32>, which <3588> are yet <3195>(5723) to sound <4537>(5721)!
1. And <2532> the fifth <3991> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> I saw <1492>(5627) a star <792> fall <4098>(5761) from <1537> heaven <3772> unto <1519> the earth <1093>: and <2532> to him <846> was given <1325>(5681) the key <2807> of the bottomless <12> pit <5421>.
2. And <2532> he opened <455>(5656) the bottomless <12> pit <5421>; and <2532> there arose <305>(5627) a smoke <2586> out of <1537> the pit <5421>, as <5613> the smoke <2586> of a great <3173> furnace <2575>; and <2532> the sun <2246> and <2532> the air <109> were darkened <4654>(5681) by reason of <1537> the smoke <2586> of the pit <5421>.
3. And <2532> there came <1831>(5627) out of <1537> the smoke <2586> locusts <200> upon <1519> the earth <1093>: and <2532> unto them <846> was given <1325>(5681) power <1849>, as <5613> the scorpions <4651> of the earth <1093> have <2192>(5719) power <1849>.
4. And <2532> it was commanded <4483>(5681) them <846> that <3363> <0> they should <91> <0> not <3363> hurt <91>(5661) the grass <5528> of the earth <1093>, neither <3761> any <3956> green thing <5515>, neither <3761> any <3956> tree <1186>; but <1508> only <3441> those men <444> which <3748> have <2192>(5719) not <3756> the seal <4973> of God <2316> in <1909> their <848> foreheads <3359>.
5. And <2532> to them <846> it was given <1325>(5681) that <3363> <0> they should <615> <0> not <3363> kill <615>(5725) them <846>, but <235> that <2443> they should be tormented <928>(5686) five <4002> months <3376>: and <2532> their <846> torment <929> was as <5613> the torment <929> of a scorpion <4651>, when <3752> he striketh <3817>(5661) a man <444>.
6. And <2532> in <1722> those <1565> days <2250> shall men <444> seek <2212>(5692) death <2288>, and <2532> shall <2147> <0> not <3756> find <2147>(5692) it <846>; and <2532> shall desire <1937>(5692) to die <599>(5629), and <2532> death <2288> shall flee <5343>(5695) from <575> them <846>.
7. And <2532> the shapes <3667> of the locusts <200> were like <3664> unto horses <2462> prepared <2090>(5772) unto <1519> battle <4171>; and <2532> on <1909> their <846> heads <2776> were as it were <5613> crowns <4735> like <3664> gold <5557>, and <2532> their <846> faces <4383> were as <5613> the faces <4383> of men <444>.
8. And <2532> they had <2192>(5707) hair <2359> as <5613> the hair <2359> of women <1135>, and <2532> their <846> teeth <3599> were <2258>(5713) as <5613> the teeth of lions <3023>.
9. And <2532> they had <2192>(5707) breastplates <2382>, as it were <5613> breastplates <2382> of iron <4603>; and <2532> the sound <5456> of their <846> wings <4420> was as <5613> the sound <5456> of chariots <716> of many <4183> horses <2462> running <5143>(5723) to <1519> battle <4171>.
10. And <2532> they had <2192>(5719) tails <3769> like <3664> unto scorpions <4651>, and <2532> there were <2258>(5713) stings <2759> in <1722> their <846> tails <3769>: and <2532> their <846> power <1849> was to hurt <91>(5658) men <444> five <4002> months <3376>.
11. And <2532> they had <2192>(5719) a king <935> over <1909> them <848>, which is the angel <32> of the bottomless pit <12>, whose <846> name <3686> in the Hebrew tongue <1447> is Abaddon <3>, but <2532> in <1722> the Greek tongue <1673> hath <2192>(5719) his name <3686> Apollyon <623>.
12. One <3391> woe <3759> is past <565>(5627); and, behold <2400>(5628), there come <2064>(5736) two <1417> woes <3759> more <2089> hereafter <3326> <5023>.
13. And <2532> the sixth <1623> angel <32> sounded <4537>(5656), and <2532> I heard <191>(5656) a <3391> voice <5456> from <1537> the four <5064> horns <2768> of the golden <5552> altar <2379> which <3588> is before <1799> God <2316>,
14. Saying <3004>(5723) to the sixth <1623> angel <32> which <3739> had <2192>(5707) the trumpet <4536>, Loose <3089>(5657) the four <5064> angels <32> which <3588> are bound <1210>(5772) in <1909> the great <3173> river <4215> Euphrates <2166>.
15. And <2532> the four <5064> angels <32> were loosed <3089>(5681), which <3588> were prepared <2090>(5772) for <1519> an hour <5610>, and <2532> a day <2250>, and <2532> a month <3376>, and <2532> a year <1763>, for to <2443> slay <615>(5725) the third part <5154> of men <444>.
16. And <2532> the number <706> of the army <4753> of the horsemen <2461> were two hundred <1417> thousand <3461> thousand <3461>: and <2532> I heard <191>(5656) the number <706> of them <846>.
17. And <2532> thus <3779> I saw <1492>(5627) the horses <2462> in <1722> the vision <3706>, and <2532> them that sat <2521>(5740) on <1909> them <846>, having <2192>(5723) breastplates <2382> of fire <4447>, and <2532> of jacinth <5191>, and <2532> brimstone <2306>: and <2532> the heads <2776> of the horses <2462> were as <5613> the heads <2776> of lions <3023>; and <2532> out of <1537> their <846> mouths <4750> issued <1607>(5736) fire <4442> and <2532> smoke <2586> and <2532> brimstone <2303>.
18. By <5259> these <5130> three <5140> was <615> <0> the third part <5154> of men <444> killed <615>(5681), by <1537> the fire <4442>, and <2532> by <1537> the smoke <2586>, and <2532> by <1537> the brimstone <2303>, which <3588> issued <1607>(5740) out of <1537> their <846> mouths <4750>.
19. For <1063> their <846> power <1849> is <1526>(5748)(5625) <2076>(5748) in <1722> their <846> mouth <4750>, and <2532> in <1722> their <846> tails <3769>: for <1063> their <846> tails <3769> were like <3664> unto serpents <3789>, and had <2192>(5723) heads <2776>, and <2532> with <1722> them <846> they do hurt <91>(5719).
20. And <2532> the rest <3062> of the men <444> which <3739> were <615> <0> not <3756> killed <615>(5681) by <1722> these <5025> plagues <4127> yet <3777> <0> repented <3340>(5656) not <3777> of <1537> the works <2041> of their <848> hands <5495>, that <3363> <0> they should <4352> <0> not <3363> worship <4352>(5661) devils <1140>, and <2532> idols <1497> of gold <5552>, and <2532> silver <693>, and <2532> brass <5470>, and <2532> stone <3035>, and <2532> of wood <3585>: which <3739> neither <3777> can <1410>(5736) see <991>(5721), nor <3777> hear <191>(5721), nor <3777> walk <4043>(5721):
21. Neither <2532> <3756> repented they <3340>(5656) of <1537> their <848> murders <5408>, nor <3777> of <1537> their <848> sorceries <5331>, nor <3777> of <1537> their <848> fornication <4202>, nor <3777> of <1537> their <848> thefts <2809>.
