God’s Word Translation
Revelation 9:3-10
3Locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and they were given power like the power of earthly scorpions.
4They were told not to harm any grass, green plant, or tree on the earth. They could harm only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5They were not allowed to kill them. They were only allowed to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the pain of a scorpion’s sting.
6At that time people will look for death and never find it. They will long to die, but death will escape them.
7The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. They seemed to have crowns that looked like gold on their heads. Their faces were like human faces.
8They had hair like women’s hair and teeth like lions’ teeth.
9They had breastplates like iron. The noise from their wings was like the roar of chariots with many horses rushing into battle.
10They had tails and stingers like scorpions. They had the power to hurt people with their tails for five months.
