 The “inhabiters of the earth” is a moral expression, as in Rev. 3:10; the words are the same, though differently translated. They indicate a class; those whose hearts and hopes are set upon earth, those who, in the language of the Apostle Paul, mind earthly things. (Revelation 9 by E. Dennett)

"Fallen" is right, not "fall," as in the KJV, a fault of rendering rather than of reading.
b
Pit "of the abyss" is better than "bottomless pit"; and so throughout.
