Revelation 9:3-5

21st Century King James Version

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 to them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those men who have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

⁵ And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months; and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.
