Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man. 6 In those days (F)men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7 (G)The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. (H)On their heads were crowns of something like gold, (I)and their faces were like the faces of men.
