- "Else,ª if¹ thou¹ refuseª to let¹ my peopleª go,ª° behold,¹ to morrowª will I bringª° the locustsª into thy coast:ª ... And they shall fillª° thy houses,ª and the housesª of all¹ thy servants,ª and the housesª of all¹ the Egyptians;ª which¹ neither¹ thy fathers,ª nor thy fathers'ª fathersª have seen,ª° since the dayª¹ that they were¹ upon¹ the earthª unto¹ this¹ day.ª And he turnedª° himself, and went outª° from¹¹ Pharaoh.ª" {Exd 10:4-6} + "And Mosesª stretched forthª°¹ his rodª over¹ the landª of Egypt,ª and the LORDª broughtª° an eastª windª upon the landª all¹ that¹ day,ª and all¹ [that] night;ª [and] when it was¹ morning,ª the eastª windª broughtª°¹ the locusts.ª ... For they coveredª°¹ the faceª of the whole¹ earth,ª so that the landª was darkened;ª° and they did eatª°¹ every¹ herbª of the land,ª and all¹ the fruitª of the treesª which¹ the hailª had left:ª° and there remainedª° not¹ any¹ green thingª in the trees,ª or in the herbsª of the field,ª through all¹ the landª of Egypt.ª" {Exd 10:13-15} + "He spake,ª° and the locustsª came,ª° and caterpillers,ª and that without¹ number,ª" {Psa 105:34} + "That which the palmerwormª hath leftª hath the locustª eaten;ª° and that which the locustª hath leftª hath the cankerwormª eaten;ª° and that which the cankerwormª hath leftª hath the caterpillerª eaten.ª°" {Jol 1:4} + "For¹ a nationª is come upª° upon¹ my land,ª strong,ª and without¹ number,ª whose teethª [are] the teethª of a lion,ª and he hath the cheek teethª of a great lion.ª ... He hath laidª° my vineª waste,ª and barkedª my fig tree:ª he hath made it clean²° bare,ª° and cast [it] away;ª° the branchesª thereof are made white.ª°" {Jol 1:6-7} + "They shall runª° like mighty men;ª they shall climbª° the wallª like men²¹ of war;ª and they shall march²°¹ every oneª on his ways,ª and they shall not¹ breakª° their ranks:ª ... And the LORDª shall utterª° his voiceª beforeª his army:ª for¹ his campª [is] veryª great:ª for¹ [he is] strongª that executethª° his word:ª for¹ the dayª of the LORDª [is] greatª and veryª terrible;ª° and who¹ can abideª° it?" {Jol 2:7-11} + "And I will restoreª° to you¹ the yearsª that¹ the locustª hath eaten,ª° the cankerworm,ª and the caterpiller,ª and the palmerworm,ª my greatª armyª which¹ I sentª° among you." {Jol 2:25} + "Andª there cameª° out ofª the¹ smokeª locustsª uponª the¹ earth:ª andª unto themª was givenª° power,ª asª the¹ scorpionsª of the¹ earthª haveª° power.ª ... Andª they hadª° a kingª overª them,²¹ [which is] the¹ angelª of the¹ bottomless pit,ª whoseª nameª in the Hebrew tongueª [is] Abaddon,ª butª inª the¹ Greek tongueª hathª° [his] nameª Apollyon.ª" {Rev 9:3-11}
