By morning, the wind had brought the locusts. 14 The locusts came up over the entire land of Egypt and settled in all the territory of the land in such large numbers that they had never been seen before, nor will they ever be seen again. 15 They covered the face of the whole land, so that it was darkened. They devoured every plant in the land, all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green remained on a tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.

  • Rev 9:2-9 : 2 He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke rose out of the shaft like the smoke of a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the shaft. 3 Out of the smoke, locusts came down to the earth, and they were given power like that of scorpions on the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, any green plant, or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were not allowed to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will desire to die, but death will flee from them. 7 The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. 8 They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. 9 They had breastplates like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle. 10 They had tails with stingers like scorpions, and in their tails, they had power to harm people for five months. 11 They had a king over them, the angel of the abyss.
