Revelation 9:4

Read in context

Revelation 9:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.

3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.

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.

6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
