And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And they were permitted, not to kill them, but to torment them five months; and the torment inflicted by them was like the torment inflicted by a scorpion, when he stings a man. And in those days men will seek for death, and shall not find it; and they will desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads were, as it were, crowns of gold; and their faces were like the faces of men.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them; they had breastplates, fiery, and hyacinthine, and sulphurous: and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and the smoke, and the brimstone that issued out of their mouths. For their power was in their mouth and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, and had heads, and with them they do injury. And the rest of men that were not killed by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they might not worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and of brass, and of stone, and of wood, which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk; and they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their lewdness, nor of their thefts.
