JPS_ASV_Byz(i)
3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, save the men such as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.
6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it, and they shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war, and upon their heads as it were gold crowns, and their faces were as men's faces.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to war.
10 And they have tails like unto scorpions, and stings, and in their tails they have power to hurt men five months.
