Bible verse
And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
Revelation 9:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Revelation 9.
1 Then the fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to earth, and it was given the key to the pit of the Abyss.
2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.
3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.
6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.
