Revelation 9:3-5

3And out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them as the scorpions of the earth have power;

4and it was said to them, that they should not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but the men who have not the seal of 1God on their foreheads:

5and it was given to them 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 it strikes a man.
