5 E fu loro dato, non di ucciderli, ma di tormentarli lo spazio di cinque mesi; e il lor tormento era come quello dello scorpione, quando ha ferito l’uomo.
5
They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes.
