5. These locusts were not given the power to kill anyone, but to cause pain to the people for five months. And the pain they felt was like the pain a scorpion gives when it stings someone.
6. During those days people will look for a way to die, but they will not find it. They will want to die, but death will run away from them.
7. The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces looked like human faces.
8. Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
9. Their chests looked like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horses and chariots hurrying into battle.
10. The locusts had tails with stingers like scorpions, and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months.
11. The locusts had a king who was the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon and in the Greek language is Apollyon.
12. The first trouble is past; there are still two other troubles that will come.
13. Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the horns on the golden altar that is before God.
