Revelation 9:4-6

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁴ They were told not to spoil any of the grass, nor any green plant, nor any tree on earth. They were told to hurt only the people who did not have God's mark on their foreheads.

⁵ They were told not to kill them, but to trouble them for five months. The pain they give is like the pain a scorpion gives when it strikes a person.

⁶ In those days people will look for death, but they will not be able to find it. They will want to die, but death will fly away from them.
