"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. And in those days

men will seek death and will not find it; they

will long to die, and death flees from them.

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."

Revelation 9:5-7
