9:2 And he opened the shaft of the abyss; and there went up a smoke out of the shaft, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the shaft.
9:3 And out of the smoke came forth locusts upon the earth; and authority was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have authority.
9:4 And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only such men as have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
9:5 And it was given them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tried five months: and their trial is as the trial of a scorpion, when it striketh a man.
9:6 And in those days men shall seek death, and shall in no wise find it; and they shall desire to die, and death fleeth from them.
9:7 And the ⁹³likenesses of the locusts were like unto horses prepared for war; and upon their heads as it were crowns like unto gold, and their faces were as men’s faces.

9:16 And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: I heard the number of them.
9:17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sit on them, having breastplates as of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone: and the heads of the horses are as the heads of lions: and out of their mouths proceedeth fire and smoke and brimstone.
9:18 By these three plagues was the third part of men killed, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone, which proceeded out of their mouths.
9:19 For the power of the horses is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails are like unto serpents, and have heads; and with them they hurt.
9:20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed with these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not ⁹⁶worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of ⁹⁷copper, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk:
