Psalms 105:34
He spoke, and locusts came— young locusts without number.

Exodus 10:4-6
But if you refuse to let My people go, then tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.They will cover the surface of the land so that no one will be able to see the land. They will eat the remainder left to you that escaped the hail; they will eat every tree you have growing in the fields.They will fill your houses, all your officials’ houses, and the houses of all the Egyptians— something your fathers and ancestors never saw since the time they occupied the land until today.” Then he turned and left Pharaoh’s presence.

Joel 1:6-7
For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.It has devastated My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away; its branches have turned white.

Joel 2:25
I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust ate, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust— My great army that I sent against you.

Revelation 9:3-11
Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth.They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it strikes a man.In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.The appearance of the locusts was like horses equipped for battle. Something like gold crowns was on their heads; their faces were like men’s faces;they had hair like women’s hair; their teeth were like lions’ teeth;they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses rushing into battle;and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months.They had as their king the angel of the abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he has the name Apollyon.

Joel 2:7-11
They attack as warriors attack; they scale walls as men of war do. Each goes on his own path, and they do not change their course.They do not push each other; each man proceeds on his own path. They dodge the arrows, never stopping.They storm the city; they run on the wall; they climb into the houses; they enter through the windows like thieves.The earth quakes before them; the sky shakes. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars cease their shining.The Lord raises His voice in the presence of His army. His camp is very large; Those who carry out His command are powerful. Indeed, the Day of the Lord is terrible and dreadful— who can endure it?

Exodus 10:13-15
So Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and through the night. By morning the east wind had brought in the locusts.The locusts went up over the entire land of Egypt and settled on the whole territory of Egypt. Never before had there been such a large number of locusts, and there never will be again.They covered the surface of the whole land so that the land was black, and they consumed all the plants on the ground and all the fruit on the trees that the hail had left. Nothing green was left on the trees or the plants in the field throughout the land of Egypt.

Joel 1:4
What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
