Revelation 9:2-10 and he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke like the smoke of a great furnace poured up out of the pit, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ² and he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke like the smoke of a great furnace poured up out of the pit, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. ³ Out of the smoke locusts descended upon the earth, but with powers like those of earthly scorpions. ⁴ They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only the men who did not have the mark of God's seal upon their foreheads. ⁵ They were not allowed to kill anyone, but only to torture them for five months, and the torture they inflicted was like that caused by a scorpion when it stings a man. ⁶ In those days men will seek death and never find it. They will want to die, but death will fly from them. ⁷ In appearance the locusts were like war-horses armed for battle; on their heads were what appeared to be crowns like gold; their faces were like human faces; ⁸ they had hair like a woman's; their teeth were like those of lions; ⁹ their breasts were like iron breast-plates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of a great number of chariots and horses rushing into battle. ¹⁰ They had tails and stings like scorpions; it was in their tails that their power lay to harm men for five months.
