Revelation 9:5 in Context — Revelation 9
3 E da fumaça saíram gafanhotos sobre a terra; e foi dado a eles poder como o poder que os escorpiões da terra têm.
4 E foi-lhes dito que não fizessem dano à erva da terra, nem a nenhuma [planta] verde, nem a nenhuma árvore; mas sim somente aos homens que não têm o sinal de Deus em suas testas.
5 E foi-lhes concedido que não os matassem, mas sim que os atormentassem por cinco meses; e o tormento deles era semelhante ao tormento do escorpião, quando fere ao homem.
6 E naqueles dias os homens buscarão a morte, e não a acharão; e desejarão morrer, e a morte fugirá deles.
7 E a aparência dos gafanhotos [era] semelhante à de cavalos preparados para a batalha; e sobre as cabeças deles havia como coroas, semelhantes ao ouro; e seus rostos eram como rostos de homens.
