Revelation 9:6-11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

6. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it; and they will yearn to die, but death evades and flees from them. [Job 3:21.]

7. The locusts resembled horses equipped for battle. On their heads was something like golden crowns. Their faces resembled the faces of people. [Joel 2:4.]

8. They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. [Joel 1:6.]

9. Their breastplates (scales) resembled breastplates made of iron, and the [whirring] noise made by their wings was like the roar of a vast number of horse-drawn chariots going at full speed into battle. [Joel 2:5.]

10. They have tails like scorpions, and they have stings, and in their tails lies their ability to hurt men for [the] five months.

11. Over them as king they have the angel of the Abyss (of the bottomless pit). In Hebrew his name is Abaddon [destruction], but in Greek he is called Apollyon [destroyer].
