In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will flee from them.
In context
4They were told not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green plant, or any tree, but only the people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5They were not allowed to kill them, but only to torment them for five months, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes someone. 6In those days people will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will flee from them. 7In appearance the locusts were like horses equipped for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. 8Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
