Bible verses about "locusts" | WNT

¹ The fifth angel blew his trumpet; and I saw a Star which had fallen from Heaven to the earth; and to him was given the key of the depths of the bottomless pit, ² and he opened the depths of the bottomless pit. And smoke came up out of the pit resembling the smoke of a vast furnace, so that the sun was darkened, and the air also, by reason of the smoke of the pit. ³ And from the midst of the smoke there came locusts on to the earth, and power was given to them resembling the power which earthly scorpions possess. ⁴ And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man. ⁶ And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them. ⁷ The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold. ⁸ Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions. ⁹ They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle. ¹⁰ They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months. ¹¹ The locusts had a king over them--the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is 'Abaddon,' while in the Greek he is called 'Apollyon.' ¹² The first woe is past; two other woes have still to come.
