AUV(i)
3 And locusts swarmed down out of the smoke to earth and they were given power like scorpions on earth have.
4 And they were told not to harm the grass on earth, or any greenery, or any tree, but only those people who did not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5 And the locusts were not given the power to kill these people, but [only] to torture them for five months. And the torment they would inflict was like a scorpion stinging a person.
6 And in those days people will be looking for death, but they will not find it; and they will want to die, but death will elude them.
7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads [they wore] what appeared to be golden crowns, and their faces looked like the faces of human beings.
8 And they had hair like women and teeth like lions.
9 Their chests were covered with armor plate made of iron, and their wings sounded like the noise of many horse-drawn chariots rushing to battle.
10 And they had tails like scorpions with stingers, and in their tails they had the power to inflict harm upon people for five months.
