Revelation 9:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 And authority was given to them so that they might not kill them, but so that they will be tormented for five months. And their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person. 6 And during those days the people will seek death, and will by no means find it; and they will desire to die, and death flees from them. 7 And the likenesses[a] of the locusts were like horses having been prepared for battle. And on their heads were something like crowns resembling gold. And their faces were like faces of people[b].
