And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men v months.
and to them was commanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed v months, and their pain was as the pain that cometh of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.
And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: And unto them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power.
For their power was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did hurt:
Or if he ask an egg: will he proffer him a scorpion?
