In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

Revelation 9:6 in context
Revelation 9:3–9
3
Then out of the smoke came locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4
They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who don’t have God’s seal on their foreheads.
5
They were given power, not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a person.
6
Selected verse
In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.
7
The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people’s faces.
8
They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.
9
They had breastplates like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of many chariots and horses rushing to war.
