* Then the fifth angel sounded [his ] trumpet , and I saw a star having fallen out of heaven , to the earth . And the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit was given to him . * And he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit , and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a burning furnace . And the sun was darkened , and the air , from the smoke of the shaft . * Then out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth . And power was given to them , as scorpions of the earth have power . * They were told not to harm the grass of the earth , nor any plant , nor any tree , but [only ] those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads . * And they were not given authority to kill them , but that they should torment them for five months . And their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man . * And in those days men shall seek death , and shall by no means find it ; they shall be longing to die , yet death shall elude them . * And the appearances of the locusts [was ] similar to horses having been prepared for battle , and on their heads [were ] like crowns of gold , and their faces [were ] like the faces of men . * They had hair like women 's hair , and their teeth were like the teeth of lions . * And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron , and the sound of their wings [was ] as the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle . * And they had tails like scorpions , and stings . And in their tails they have power to harm men five months ,
