9 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the  noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many  horses running to battle;
         
                                
                        10 and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in  their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five  months;
         
                                
                        11 and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the  abyss -- a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the  Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.

                        14 saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose  the four messengers who are bound at the great river  Euphrates;`
         
                                
                        15 and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made  ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may  kill the third of men;
