Revelation 9:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
In context
2 The star opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit.
3 And out of the smoke, locusts descended on the earth, and they were given power like that of the scorpions of the earth.
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 The locusts were not given power to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the stinging of a scorpion.
6 In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, but death will escape them.
