"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
