Bible verses about "locusts" | Williams

¹ Then the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky upon the earth. To this angel the key to the pit of the abyss was given, ² and he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke like the smoke of a huge furnace puffed up out of the pit, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. ³ Out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, but the power that was given to them was like the power of earthly scorpions. ⁴ They were told not to injure the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only the people who did not have the mark of God's seal on their foreheads. ⁵ They were not permitted to kill them, but only to torture them for five months, and the torture they inflicted was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a man. ⁶ In those days people will look for death but will not find it, they will long to die but death will flee from them. ⁷ The locusts look like horses armed for battle; on their heads were what appeared to be crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces; ⁸ they had hair that looked like women's hair; their teeth were like lions' teeth; ⁹ they had breastplates that seemed to be made of steel; the noise of their wings was like the noise of vast numbers of chariots and horses rushing into battle; ¹⁰ they had tails like scorpions with stings in them, so in their tails their power lay to injure men for five months. ¹¹ They had over them as king the angel of the abyss; in Hebrew he is called Abaddon, in Greek, Apollyon. ¹² The first woe is past. See! Two other woes are yet to come.
