Tree of Life Version
Revelation 9:3-11
3Then from the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given to them like the scorpions have power over the earth.
4They were told to do no harm to the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5And they were permitted not to kill them, but to torment them for five months—and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a person.
6In those days, people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7Now the appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces.
8They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9They had chests like iron breastplates; and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle.
10They have tails like scorpions with stingers; and in their tails is their power to harm people for five months.
11They have as king over them the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.
