Revelation 9:3-10
3Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth.
4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only those people who do not have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5They were not permitted to kill them but were to torment them for five months; their torment is like the torment caused by a scorpion when it stings someone.
6In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. Something like golden crowns was on their heads; their faces were like human faces;
8they had hair like women’s hair; their teeth were like lions’ teeth;
9they had chests like iron breastplates; the sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots with horses rushing into battle;
10and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months.
