Revelation 9:7-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,^{(A) 8} their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth;^{(B) 9} they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.^{(C) 10} They have tails like scorpions, with stingers, and in their tails is their power to harm people for five months. ¹¹ They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon,^[a] and in Greek he is called Apollyon.^[b](D)

¹² The first woe has passed. There are still two woes to come.^(E)
