Revelation 9:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Then out of the smoke came (A)locusts [a]upon the earth, and power was given them, as the (B)scorpions of the earth have power. 4 And they were told not to (C)hurt the (D)grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the (E)seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And [b]they were not permitted to kill [c]anyone, but to torment for (F)five months, and their torment was like the torment of a (G)scorpion when it [d]stings a man.

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.
