New Testament

Revelation 9:5-10 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man.

6. And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them.

7. The 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.

8. They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions.

9. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle.

10. They have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months.
