Revelation 9:4 in Context — Revelation 9

2 et elle ouvrit le puits de l’abîme. Et il monta du puits une fumée, comme la fumée d’une grande fournaise; et le soleil et l’air furent obscurcis par la fumée du puits.

3 De la fumée sortirent des sauterelles, qui se répandirent sur la terre; et il leur fut donné un pouvoir comme le pouvoir qu’ont les scorpions de la terre.

4 Il leur fut dit de ne point faire de mal à l’herbe de la terre, ni à aucune verdure, ni à aucun arbre, mais seulement aux hommes qui n’avaient pas le sceau de Dieu sur le front.

5 Il leur fut donné, non de les tuer, mais de les tourmenter pendant cinq mois; et le tourment qu’elles causaient était comme le tourment que cause le scorpion, quand il pique un homme.

6 En ces jours-là, les hommes chercheront la mort, et ils ne la trouveront pas; ils désireront mourir, et la mort fuira loin d’eux.
