Bible Verses About Locust: Symbolic

Then out of the smoke onto the earth came locusts, and they were given power like the power scorpions have on earth.

They were instructed not to harm the grass on the earth, any green plant or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

The locusts were not allowed to kill them, only to inflict pain on them for five months; and the pain they caused was like the pain of a scorpion sting.

In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.

Now these locusts looked like horses outfitted for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces.

They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

Their chests were like iron breastplates, and the sound their wings made was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.

They had tails like those of scorpions, with stings; and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months.
