Revelation 9:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² The star opened the Abyss. Then smoke rose up from it like the smoke from a huge furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. ³ Out of the smoke came locusts. They came down on the earth. They were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. ⁴ They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree. They were supposed to harm only the people without God’s official seal on their foreheads.
