Revelation 9:12

Revelation 9:12

10 They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months.

11 And they had as king over them ^athe angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is¹ Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name² Apollyon.

12 ^aOne woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.

Sixth Trumpet: The Angels from the Euphrates

13 Then the sixth angel sounded: And I heard a voice from the four horns of the ^agolden altar which is before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound ^aat the great river Euphrates.”

15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released to kill a ^athird of mankind.

16 Now ^athe number of the army ^bof the horsemen was two hundred million; ^cI heard the number of them.

The first woe (h ouai h mia). Note feminine gender ascribed to the interjection ouai as in Revelation 11:14, perhaps because qliyiv is feminine, though we really do not know. Note also the ordinal use of mia (one) like prwth (first) as in Revelation 6:1; Mark 16:2.

There come yet two Woes (erxetai eti duo Ouai). Singular number erxetai instead of erxontai, though duo ouai. It is true that ouai is an interjection and indeclinable, but it is here used with duo and is feminine just before, and not neuter.
