Revelation 9:1-12 - Tormenting Locusts From The Abyss

¹ And the fifth agent sounded, and I saw a star fallen from the sky to the earth. And the key of the pit of the abyss was given to him. ² And he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke ascended out of the pit, like 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 power was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have power. ⁴ And it was told them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor anything green, nor any tree, except the men who have not the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ And it was given them that they would not kill them, but that they would be tormented five months. And their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. ⁶ And in those days men will seek death, and will, no, not find it. And they will long to die, and death will flee from them.

⁷ And the likeness of the locusts was similar to horses prepared for battle. And upon their heads were like golden crowns, and their faces were as men's faces. ⁸ And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as 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 into battle. ¹⁰ And they have tails similar to scorpions, and stings. And in their tails they have power to hurt men five months. ¹¹ Having a king over them, the agent of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in the Greek he has the name Apollyon. ¹² One woe is departed, behold, two woes yet come after these.
