Revelation 9:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ and 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 God on their foreheads:

⁵ and 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.

⁶ And in those days shall men seek death, and shall in no way find it; and shall desire to die, and death flees from them.
