'Scorpions' in the Bible

He led you through the great and terrible wilderness with its poisonous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty land where there was no water. He brought water out of the flint-like rock for you.

“But you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words, though briers and thorns are beside you and you live among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words or be discouraged by the look on their faces, for they are a rebellious house.

Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing will ever harm you.

Then locusts came out of the smoke on to the earth, and power was given to them like the power that scorpions have on the earth.

and they had tails with stingers like scorpions, so that with their tails they had the power to harm people for five months.
