Joel 2:7-11
New International Version
7 They charge like warriors;(A)
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,(B)
not swerving(C) from their course.
8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;(D)
like thieves they enter through the windows.(E)
10 Before them the earth shakes,(F)
the heavens tremble,(G)
the sun and moon are darkened,(H)
and the stars no longer shine.(I)
11 The Lord(J) thunders(K)
at the head of his army;(L)
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty is the army that obeys his command.
The day of the Lord is great;(M)
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?(N)

Exodus 10:4-6
New International Version
4 If you refuse(A) to let them go, I will bring locusts(B) into your country tomorrow. 5 They will cover the face of the ground so that it cannot be seen. They will devour what little you have left(C) after the hail, including every tree that is growing in your fields.(D) 6 They will fill your houses(E) and those of all your officials and all the Egyptians—something neither your parents nor your ancestors have ever seen from the day they settled in this land till now.’”(F) Then Moses turned and left Pharaoh.
Revelation 9:3-11
New International Version
3 And out of the smoke locusts(A) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(B) of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm(C) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,(D) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.(E) 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(F) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(G) when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(H)
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.(I) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.(J) 8 Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.(K) 9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.(L) 10 They had tails with stingers, like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.(M) 11 They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss,(N) whose name in Hebrew(O) is Abaddon(P) and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer).

Exodus 10:13-15
New International Version
13 So Moses stretched out his staff(A) over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts;(B) 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts,(C) nor will there ever be again. 15 They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured(D) all that was left after the hail—everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
