|---|---|---|
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
|
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.
|
And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
