Revelation 9:3-6 And out of the fumes came out locusts into the earth, and license was granted them as the scorpions of the earth have license."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And out of the fumes came out locusts into the earth, and license was granted them as the scorpions of the earth have license." ⁴ And it was declared to them that they should not be injuring the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, except those of mankind who have not the seal of God on their foreheads." ⁵ And it was granted to them, not that they should be killing them, but that they shall be tormented five months; and their torment is as the torment of a scorpion, whenever it should be striking a man." ⁶ And in those days men will be seeking death, and under no circumstances shall they be finding it. And they will be yearning to die, and death is fleeing from them."
