Revelation 9:3-6 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. ⁴ And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth neither any green thing neither any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads. ⁵ And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should torment them five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he strikes a man. ⁶ And in those days men shall seek death and shall not find it and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
