Revelation 9:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ They were told not to hurt the grass or plants or trees, but to attack those people who did not have the mark of God on their foreheads. ⁵ They were not to kill them, but to torture them for five months with agony like the pain of scorpion stings. ⁶ In those days men will try to kill themselves but won’t be able to—death will not come. They will long to die—but death will flee away!
