2And he made the great deep open and a smoke went up from it, like the smoke of a great oven; and the sun and the air were made dark because of the smoke.
3And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.
4And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.
5And orders were given them not to put them to death, but to give them great pain for five months: and their pain was as the pain from the wound of a scorpion.
6And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.
7And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
