Revelation 9:6
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.
In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
7 And the locusts looked like horses prepared for battle, with something like crowns of gold on their heads, and faces like the faces of men.
8 They had hair like that of women, and teeth like those of lions.
