And in those days men will seek death, and will not find it; and they will desire to die, and death flies from them. And the shapes of the locusts are like horses having been made ready for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like gold, and their faces are like the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses rushing to war. And they have tails like scorpions, and stings: and their power is in their tails, to hurt men five months: and they have over them a king, the angel of the bottomless pit, to him the name is Abaddon in Hebrew, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
