Revelation 9:7-12

New King James Version

⁷^(A)The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. ^(B)On their heads were crowns of something like gold, ^(C)and their faces were like the faces of men. ⁸They had hair like women’s hair, and ^(D)their teeth were like lions’ teeth. ⁹And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was ^(E)like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle. ¹⁰They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. ¹¹And they had as king over them ^(F)the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is ^[a]Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name ^[b]Apollyon.

¹²^(G)One woe is past. Behold, still two more woes are coming after these things.
