English Standard Version
Revelation 9:3-10
3Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of 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 the seal of God on their foreheads.
5They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
6And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.
7In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces,
8their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth;
9they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle.
10They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails.
