Revelation 9:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth have authority,

⁴ and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads,

⁵ and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is] as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man;
