Rev 9:1 KJV And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment <\/span><\/span>[<\/span><\/span><\/span>was<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em>]<\/span><\/span><\/span> as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7 And the shapes of the locusts [<\/span><\/span>were<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> ]<\/span><\/span> like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [<\/span><\/span>were<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> ] <\/span><\/span>as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [<\/span><\/span>were<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em> ]<\/span><\/span> as the faces of men.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth<\/i>] of lions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings [was<\/i>] as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power [was<\/i>] to hurt men five months.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11 And they had a king over them, [which is<\/i>] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is<\/i>] Abaddon<\/a>, but in the Greek tongue hath [his<\/i>] name Apollyon<\/a>.
\n<\/span><\/span>(Antimeria<\/i> 493<\/a>)
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

12 One woe is past; [and<\/i>], behold, there come two woes more hereafter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen [were<\/i>] two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses [were<\/i>] as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails [were<\/i>] like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and* idols of gold, and* silver, and* brass, and* stone, and* of wood:
\nwhich neither<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0can see, nor<\/span><\/span>\u2020hear, nor<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0walk:
\n(Polysyndeton*;\u00a0Paradiostole<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span>\u2020)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

21 Neither<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0repented they of their murders, nor<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0of their sorceries, nor<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0of their fornication, nor<\/span><\/span>\u2020\u00a0of their thefts.
\n(Paradiostole<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span>\u2020)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

oute defined as a conjunctive.

Blue Letter Bible defines oute as an adverb, which is a word that modifies a verb.
\nThayer’s also defines it as such, but then includes in its definition that it is an adjunctive negative conjunction.
\nBible Hub defines it as a conjunction.
\nAs I see it, it depends on how it is used as to whether it is Paradiostole<\/em> or Polysyndeton<\/em>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
