Psalms 105:34
He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.

Exodus 10:4-6
If you refuse, watch out! For tomorrow I will bring a swarm of locusts on your country.They will cover the land so that you won’t be able to see the ground. They will devour what little is left of your crops after the hailstorm, including all the trees growing in the fields.They will overrun your palaces and the homes of your officials and all the houses in Egypt. Never in the history of Egypt have your ancestors seen a plague like this one!” And with that, Moses turned and left Pharaoh.

Joel 1:6-7
A vast army of locusts has invaded my land, a terrible army too numerous to count. Its teeth are like lions’ teeth, its fangs like those of a lioness.It has destroyed my grapevines and ruined my fig trees, stripping their bark and destroying it, leaving the branches white and bare.

Joel 2:25
The Lord says,“ I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

Revelation 9:3-11
Then locusts came from the smoke and descended on the earth, and they were given power to sting like scorpions.They were told not to harm the grass or plants or trees, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.They were told not to kill them but to torture them for five months with pain like the pain of a scorpion sting.In those days people will seek death but will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them!The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked like human faces.They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like the teeth of a lion.They wore armor made of iron, and their wings roared like an army of chariots rushing into battle.They had tails that stung like scorpions, and for five months they had the power to torment people.Their king is the angel from the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek, Apollyon— the Destroyer.

Joel 2:7-11
The attackers march like warriors and scale city walls like soldiers. Straight forward they march, never breaking rank.They never jostle each other; each moves in exactly the right position. They break through defenses without missing a step.They swarm over the city and run along its walls. They enter all the houses, climbing like thieves through the windows.The earth quakes as they advance, and the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.The Lord is at the head of the column. He leads them with a shout. This is his mighty army, and they follow his orders. The day of the Lord is an awesome, terrible thing. Who can possibly survive?

Exodus 10:13-15
So Moses raised his staff over Egypt, and the Lord caused an east wind to blow over the land all that day and through the night. When morning arrived, the east wind had brought the locusts.And the locusts swarmed over the whole land of Egypt, settling in dense swarms from one end of the country to the other. It was the worst locust plague in Egyptian history, and there has never been another one like it.For the locusts covered the whole country and darkened the land. They devoured every plant in the fields and all the fruit on the trees that had survived the hailstorm. Not a single leaf was left on the trees and plants throughout the land of Egypt.

Joel 1:4
After the cutting locusts finished eating the crops, the swarming locusts took what was left! After them came the hopping locusts, and then the stripping locusts, too!
