Revelation 9:8

Read in context

Revelation 9:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.

9 They also had thoraxes like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, which had the power to injure people for five months.
