← Revelation 9:6	Revelation 9:7 (KJV)	Revelation 9:8 →
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.	And the shapes of the locusts [were] like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads [were] as it were crowns like gold, and their faces [were] as the faces of men.	And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions.
