Revelation 9:4-10 and yet it was declared to them that they may not be acting unjustly to (be harming, injuring or violating) the enclosed pasture (or: grass) of the Land (earth; soil), nor any green thing, nor any tree, except the humans (the people): those not having the seal (or: imprint) of God upon their foreheads.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ and yet it was declared to them that they may not be acting unjustly to (be harming, injuring or violating) the enclosed pasture (or: grass) of the Land (earth; soil), nor any green thing, nor any tree, except the humans (the people): those not having the seal (or: imprint) of God upon their foreheads. ⁵ Now this was granted (or: given) to (or: for) them, not that they should be killing them, but rather so that they [= the humans] may be examined (tried as metals by the touchstone; distressed) [for] five months. And their examination [is; was] as the distress (metal testing) of a scorpion whenever it may strike a human. ⁶ And in those days the people (humans) will proceed seeking (searching for; pursuing) death, and will continue by no means (or: under no circumstances) finding it. And they will continue setting their desire to die, and death will continue fleeing (or: escaping) from them. ⁷ Now the representation-effects (resultant likenesses and figures) of the locusts [were] like (similar to) horses having been made ready (or: prepared) unto battle. And upon their heads [were] something like golden wreaths, and their faces [were] as human faces, ⁸ and they were having hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as those of lions. ⁹ And they were having breastplates – as breastplate armor made of iron – and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of chariots of many horses continuously running into battle. ¹⁰ And they continue having tails like scorpions, and stings (goads; sharp points), and in their tails [is] their authority (permission; license) to act unjustly to (to harm or injure) the humans [for] five months.
