Revelation 9:3-6 And locusts came forth out of the smoke upon the earth, and authority was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have authority.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And locusts came forth out of the smoke upon the earth, and authority was given to them, like the scorpions of the earth have authority. ⁴ And it was said to them in order that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any pale-green thing, nor any tree, except only men who do not have the seal of God upon their foreheads. ⁵ And it was given to them in order that they should not kill them, but in order that they should be tormented five months and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, whenever it strikes a man. ⁶ And men will seek death in those days and they will never be finding it, and they will desire to die and death will be fleeing from them.
