'Scorpions' in the Bible

Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.
