New Living Translation
Revelation 9:3-12
3Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.
4They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.
6In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!
7The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.
8They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.
9They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.
10They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.
11Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon—the Destroyer.
12The first terror is past, but look, two more terrors are coming!
