8 and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as `those' of lions,
9 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings `is' as the noise of chariots of many horses running to battle;
10 and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in their tails; and their authority `is' to injure men five months;
11 and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the abyss -- a name `is' to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the Greek he hath a name, Apollyon.
