Revelation 9:3

---

← Revelation 9:2	Revelation 9:3 (KJV)	Revelation 9:4 →
And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.	And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.	And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
