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

¹ And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to it the key of the pit of the abyss, ² and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. ³ And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority, ⁴ and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads, ⁵ and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man; ⁶ and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall flee from them.

⁷ And the likenesses of the locusts are like to horses made ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and their faces as faces of men, ⁸ and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as those of lions, ⁹ and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings is as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle; ¹⁰ and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority is to injure men five months; ¹¹ and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name is to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. ¹² The first woe did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes after these things.
