Revelation 9:5 in Context — Revelation 9
3 Y del humo salieron langostas sobre la tierra; y fuéles dada potestad, como tienen potestad los escorpiones de la tierra.
4 Y les fué mandado que no hiciesen daño á la hierba de la tierra, ni á ninguna cosa verde, ni á ningún árbol, sino solamente á los hombres que no tienen la señal de Dios en sus frentes.
5 Y les fué dado que no los matasen, sino que los atormentasen cinco meses; y su tormento era como tormento de escorpión, cuando hiere al hombre.
6 Y en aquellos días buscarán los hombres la muerte, y no la hallarán; y desearán morir, y la muerte huirá de ellos.
7 Y el parecer de las langostas era semejante á caballos aparejados para la guerra: y sobre sus cabezas [tenían] como coronas semejantes al oro; y sus caras como caras de hombres.
