Revelation 9 — Context

5

The locusts were not given permission to kill them, but only to torture them for five months, and their torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person.

6

In those days people will seek death, but will not be able to find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.

7

Now the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On their heads were something like crowns similar to gold, and their faces looked like men’s faces.

8

They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.

9

They had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots charging into battle.

10

They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability to injure people for five months is in their tails.

11

They have as king over them the angel of the abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon.
