5 The locusts were not given permission to kill them, but only to torture them for five months, and their torture was like that of a scorpion when it stings a person. 6 In those days people will seek death, but will not be able to find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7 Now the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On their heads were something like crowns similar to gold, and their faces looked like men’s 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 charging into battle. 10 They have tails and stingers like scorpions, and their ability to injure people for five months is in their tails.

56 I then asked the demon, ‘What are you called?’ It replied, ‘I am known as the crest of dragons.’ I commanded it to assist in making bricks for the Temple construction. Remarkably, it had human hands. 57 I worshipped the Lord God of Israel and summoned another spirit. This spirit appeared in the form of a woman without limbs, with disheveled hair. I asked, ‘Who are you?’ She responded, ‘Who are you to inquire about me? Yet, since you must know, here I am, bound before you. Go and cleanse yourself in your royal chambers, then return to judge me.’
