Revelation 9:3-10
3ThenG2532 out of the smokeG2586 cameG1831 1locustsG200 2upon the earthG1093, and powerG1849 was givenG1325 them, as the 3scorpionsG4651 of the earthG1093 haveG2192 powerG1849. 4They were toldG3004 not to 4hurtG91 the 5grassG5528 of the earthG1093, norG3761 anyG3956 greenG5515 thingG5515, norG3761 anyG3956 treeG1186, but onlyG1487G3361 the peopleG444 whoG3748 do not haveG2192 the 6sealG4973 of GodG2316 on their foreheadsG3359. 5And 7they were not permittedG1325 to killG615 8anyoneG846, but to tormentG928 for 9fiveG4002 monthsG3376; and their tormentG929 was likeG5613 the tormentG929 of a 10scorpionG4651 whenG3752 it 11stingsG3817 a personG444. 6And in thoseG1565 daysG2250 12peopleG444 will seekG2212 deathG2288 and will not findG2147 it; they will longG1937 to dieG599, and deathG2288 13will fleeG5343 from them!
7The 1415appearanceG3667 of the locustsG200 was likeG3664 horsesG2462 preparedG2090 for battleG4171; and on their headsG2776 appearedG5613 to be crownsG4735 likeG3664 goldG5557, and their facesG4383 were likeG5613 humanG444 facesG4383. 8They hadG2192 hairG2359 likeG5613 the hairG2359 of womenG1135, and their 16teethG3599 were likeG5613 the teeth of lionsG3023. 9They hadG2192 breastplatesG2382 likeG5613 breastplatesG2382 of ironG4603; and the 17soundG5456 of their wingsG4420 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of chariotsG716, of manyG4183 horsesG2462 rushingG5143 to battleG4171. 10They haveG2192 tailsG3769 likeG3664 18scorpionsG4651, and stingsG2759; and in their 19tailsG3769 is their powerG1849 to hurtG91 peopleG444 for 20fiveG4002 monthsG3376.
