Revelation 9:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. It was given the key for the passage to the abyss.

2. It opened the passage to the abyss, and smoke came up out of the passage like smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the passage.

3. Locusts came out of the smoke onto the land, and they were given the same power as scorpions of the earth.
