WNT(i)
4 And they were forbidden to injure the herbage of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree. They were only to injure human beings--those who have not the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 Their mission was not to kill, but to cause awful agony for five months; and this agony was like that which a scorpion inflicts when it stings a man.
6 And at that time people will seek death, but will by no possibility find it, and will long to die, but death evades them.
7 The appearance of the locusts was like that of horses equipped for war. On their heads they had wreaths which looked like gold.
8 Their faces seemed human and they had hair like women's hair, but their teeth resembled those of lions.
9 They had breast-plates which seemed to be made of steel; and the noise caused by their wings was like that of a vast number of horses and chariots hurrying into battle.
10 They had tails like those of scorpions, and also stings; and in their tails lay their power of injuring mankind for five months.
