Then<n id="1" /> out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and they were given power<n id="2" /> like that of the scorpions of the earth.

They have<n id="1" /> tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability<n id="2" /> to injure people for five months is in their tails.

The beast<n id="1" /> was given a mouth speaking proud words<n id="2" /> and blasphemies, and he was permitted<n id="3" /> to exercise ruling authority<n id="4" /> for forty-two months.

The beast<n id="1" /> was permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them.<n id="2" /> He was given ruling authority<n id="3" /> over every tribe, people,<n id="4" /> language, and nation,

For the power<n id="1" /> of the horses resides<n id="2" /> in their mouths and in their tails, because their tails are like snakes, having heads that inflict injuries.

So<n id="1" /> I looked<n id="2" /> and here came<n id="3" /> a pale green<n id="4" /> horse! The<n id="5" /> name of the one who rode it<n id="6" /> was Death, and Hades followed right behind.<n id="7" /> They<n id="8" /> were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword,<n id="9" /> famine, and disease,<n id="10" /> and by the wild animals of the earth.p>

Then<n id="1" /> I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;The salvation and the powerp> <p class="poetry">and the kingdom of our God,p> <p class="poetry">and the ruling authority<n id="2" /> of his Christ,<n id="3" /> have now come,p> <p class="poetry">because the accuser of our brothers and sisters,<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">the one who accuses them day and night<n id="5" /> before our God,p> <p class="poetry">has been thrown down.p>
