Revelation 9:3-6 And from the smoke went out locusts on the earth, and power was given them like the power which scorpions of the earth have.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ And from the smoke went out locusts on the earth, and power was given them like the power which scorpions of the earth have. ⁴ And it was told them not to injure the grass of the earth nor any green thing nor any tree, but the men who had not the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ And it was given them not to kill them, but to sting them five months; and their sting was like the sting of a scorpion, when he strikes a man. ⁶ And in those days men shall seek death and not find it, and shall desire to die and death flee from them.
