Revelation 9:5
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
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.
