Revelation 9:1-7

1And the fifthG3991 angelG32 soundedG4537, and I sawG3708 a starG792 from heavenG3772 fallenG4098 unto the earthG1093: and there was givenG1325 to him the keyG2807 of the pitG5421 of the abyssG12.

2And he openedG455 the pitG5421 of the abyssG12; and there wentG305 up a smokeG2586 out of the pitG5421, as the smokeG2586 of a greatG3173 furnaceG2575; and the sunG2246 and the airG109 were darkenedG4656 by reason of the smokeG2586 of the pitG5421.

3And out of the smokeG2586 cameG1831 forthG1831 locustsG200 upon the earthG1093; and powerG1849 was givenG1325 them, as the scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 have powerG1849.

4And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grassG5528 of the earthG1093, neither any greenG5515 thing, neither any treeG1186, but onlyG1487 such menG444 as have not the sealG4973 of GodG2316 on their foreheadsG3359.

5And it was givenG1325 them that they should not killG615 them, but that they should be tormentedG928 fiveG4002 monthsG3376: and their tormentG929 was as the tormentG929 of a scorpionG4651, whenG3752 it striketh a manG444.

6And in those daysG2250 menG444 shall seekG2212 deathG2288, and shall in no wise findG2147 it; and they shall desireG1937 to dieG599, and deathG2288 fleeth from them.

7And the shapes of the locustsG200 were like unto horsesG2462 preparedG2090 for warG4171; and upon their headsG2776 as it were crownsG4735 like unto goldG5557, and their facesG4383 were as men’sG444 facesG4383.
