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.

Whiston⁽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 those men who have not the seal of God upon [their] foreheads. ⁵ And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but they shall be tormented five months: and their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. ⁶ And in those days shall men seek death, and by no means find it, and shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
