Revelation 9:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree: but only the men who have not the sign of God on their foreheads.

⁵ And it was given unto them that they should not kill them; but that they should torment them five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man.

⁶ And in those days men shall seek death, and shall not find it: and they shall desire to die, and death shall fly from them.
