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

¹ The fifth angel blew, and I saw a Star which had dropped from heaven to earth; he was given the key of the pit of the abyss, ² and he opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke poured out of the pit, like the smoke of a huge furnace, till the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. ³ And out of the smoke came locusts on the earth; they were granted power like the power wielded by scorpions on earth, ⁴ but they were told not to harm the grass on earth nor any green thing nor any tree, only such human beings as had not the seal of God upon their foreheads; ⁵ these they were allowed, not to kill but to torture, for five months ??and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion when it stings a man. ⁶ In those days men will seek death, but they will not find it: they will long to die, but death flies from them.

⁷ The appearance of the locusts resembled horses armed for battle; on their heads were sort of crowns like gold; their faces were like human faces, ⁸ their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' fangs; ⁹ they had scales like iron coats of mail; the whirring of their wings was like the noise of many chariots rushing to battle; ¹⁰ their tails and their stings were like scorpions', and their power of hurting men for five months lay in their tails; ¹¹ they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss ??his Hebrew name is Abaddon, but in Greek he is called Apollyon. ¹² The first woe has passed: two woes are still to come.
