- 2 Chroniques 21
  
  1 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
  
  2 He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
  
  3 Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.
  
  4 Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel.
  
  5 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
  
  6 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
  
  7 However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always.
  
  8 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
  
  9 Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots.
  
  10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then Libnah revolted at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
  
  11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.
  
  12 A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
  
  13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father's house, who were better than yourself:
  
  14 behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance;
  
  15 and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.'"
  
  16 Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians:
  
  17 and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
  
  18 After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
  
  19 It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of severe diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
  
  20 Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
  
  Zacharie 5
  
  1 Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.
  
  2 He said to me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its breadth ten cubits."
  
  3 Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
  
  4 I will cause it to go out," says Yahweh of Armies, "and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the midst of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones."
  
  5 Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and said to me, "Lift up now your eyes, and see what is this that is appearing."
  
  6 I said, "What is it?" He said, "This is the ephah basket that is appearing." He said moreover, "This is their appearance in all the land
  
  7 (and behold, a talent of lead was lifted up); and this is a woman sitting in the midst of the ephah basket."
  
  8 He said, "This is Wickedness"; and he threw her down into the midst of the ephah basket; and he threw the weight of lead on its mouth.
  
  9 Then lifted I up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there were two women, and the wind was in their wings. Now they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the ephah basket between earth and the sky.
  
  10 Then I said to the angel who talked with me, "Where are these carrying the ephah basket?"
  
  11 He said to me, "To build her a house in the land of Shinar. When it is prepared, she will be set there in her own place."
  
  Apocalypse 9
  
  1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him.
  
  2 He opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke from a burning furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit.
  
  3 Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
  
  4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don't have God's seal on their foreheads.
  
  5 They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.
  
  6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
  
  7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.
  
  8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
  
  9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.
  
  10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails they have power to harm men for five months.
  
  11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," but in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon."
  
  12 The first woe is past. Behold, there are still two woes coming after this.
  
  13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which is before God,
  
  14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates!"
  
  15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for that hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of mankind.
  
  16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million . I heard the number of them.
  
  17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.
  
  18 By these three plagues were one third of mankind killed: by the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.
  
  19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.
  
  20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, didn't repent of the works of their hands, that they wouldn't worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.
  
  21 They didn't repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
