Revelation 8

¹ When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

² And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

³ Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

⁴ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up before God from the angel's hand.

⁵ Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

⁶ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

⁷ The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled to the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

⁸ The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, blazing with fire, was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,

⁹ a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and onto the springs of water.

¹¹ The star's name is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter as wormwood, and many people died from the waters, because they had been made bitter.

¹² The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them went dark. A third of the day was without light, and the night as well.

¹³ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying high overhead, calling out in a loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"
