Revelation 9:3-7
New King James Version
3 Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, (A)as the scorpions of the earth have power. 4 They were commanded (B)not to harm (C)the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have (D)the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And [a]they were not given authority to kill them, (E)but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days (F)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 (G)The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. (H)On their heads were crowns of something like gold, (I)and their faces were like the faces of men.

Exodus 10:12-15
New King James Version
12 Then the Lord said to Moses, (A)“Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and (B)eat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.” 13 So Moses stretched out his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. 14 And (C)the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt and rested on all the territory of Egypt. They were very severe; (D)previously there had been no such locusts as they, nor shall there be such after them. 15 For they (E)covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they (F)ate every herb of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. So there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field throughout all the land of Egypt.

New King James Version
15 There the fire will devour you,
The sword will cut you off;
It will eat you up like a (A)locust.
Make yourself many—like the locust!
Make yourself many—like the swarming locusts!
16 You have multiplied your (B)merchants more than the stars of heaven.
The locust plunders and flies away.
17 (C)Your commanders are like swarming locusts,
And your generals like great grasshoppers,
Which camp in the hedges on a cold day;
When the sun rises they flee away,
And the place where they are is not known.
