5 And [a]they were not permitted to kill [b]anyone, but to torment for (A)five months; and their torment was like the torment of a (B)scorpion when it [c]stings a man. 6 And in those days (C)men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them.
7 The [d](D)appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.

Revelation 9:5-7
New International Version
5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(A) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(B) when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.(C)
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle.(D) On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.(E)
