Joel 2:7-11
King James Version
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

7 They charge like warriors;(A)
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,(B)
not swerving(C) from their course.

They climb into the houses;(D)
like thieves they enter through the windows.(E)

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)

4 Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
5 And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
6 And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.

Revelation 9:3-11
King James Version
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

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
King James Version
13 And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
14 And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.

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.
