Revelation 9:3-5

English Standard Version

³ Then from the smoke came ^(A)locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. ⁴ They were told ^(B)not to harm ^(C)the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have ^(D)the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵ They were allowed to torment them ^(E)for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.
