Revelation 9:3-6
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. 6 And in those days (F)people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

New International Version
3 And out of the smoke locusts(A) came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions(B) of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm(C) the grass of the earth or any plant or tree,(D) but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.(E) 5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months.(F) And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion(G) 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.(H)
