Revelation 9:2-11

MLV(i) 2 And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a burning furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened from the smoke of the pit. 3 And locusts came forth out of the smoke upon the earth, and authority was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have authority. 4 And it was said to them in order that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any pale-green thing, nor any tree, except only men who do not have the seal of God upon their foreheads. 5 And it was given to them in order that they should not kill them, but in order that they should be tormented five months and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, whenever it strikes a man. 6 And men will seek death in those days and they will never be finding it, and they will desire to die and death will be fleeing from them. 7 And the likenesses of the locusts were similar to horses, having been prepared for war, and upon their heads like golden crowns and their faces are like men’s faces. 8 And they had hair like the hair of women and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. 9 And they had breastplates, like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses running to war. 10 And they have tails similar to scorpions and stings, and they have their authority in their tails to hurt the men for five months. 11 They have the messenger of the abyss as king over them. His name in Hebrew is Abbadon but in the Greek language he has the name Apollyon.
