Revelation 9:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ And they were commanded not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree; but only those men who do not have the seal of God in their foreheads.

⁵ And they were commanded not to kill them; but that they should be tormented for five months, and that their pain should be as the pain that comes from a scorpion when he has stung a man.

⁶ Therefore, in those days, man shall seek death and shall not find it; and shall desire to die and death shall flee from them.
