Locust torment with bounded authority

3And out of the smoke came locusts onto the earth, and authority was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have authority.

4And they were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.

5And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.

6And in those days people will seek death and will certainly not find it, and they will long to die, but death flees from them.
