Revelation 9:8 Context
6And in those daies shal men seeke death, and shall not finde it, and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. 7And the shapes of the Locusts were like vnto horses prepared vnto battell, and on their heades were as it were crownes like golde, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8And they had haire as the haire of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of Lions. 9And they had brestplates, as it were brestplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was as the sound of charets of many horses running to battell. 10And they had tayles like vnto Scorpions, and there were stings in their tayles: and their power was to hurt men fiue moneths.
