Revelation 9:7-10

The Seven Trumpets

7 b In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: c on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were d like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and e their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was f like the noise of many chariots with g horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people h for five months is in their tails.
