Revelation 9:13-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Footnotes

  1. 9:13 [Four]: many Greek manuscripts and versions omit the word. The horns were situated at the four corners of the altar (Ex 27:2; 30:2–3); see note on Rev 8:3.
  2. 9:14–15 The four angels: they are symbolic of the destructive activity that will be extended throughout the universe.
