Revelation 8
1And when He opened the seventh seal, silence occurred in heaven for about half an hour.
2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3And another angel came and stood at the altar holding a golden incense burner, and much incense was given to him so that he might offer it with the prayers of all the holy ones on the golden altar before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense rose up with the prayers of the holy ones from the hand of the angel before God.
5And the angel took the incense burner and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it to the earth, and there occurred peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7And the first sounded, and hail and fire mixed with blood occurred, and it was thrown to the earth, and a third of the earth was burned up and a third of the trees were burned up and all the green grass was burned up.
8And the second angel sounded, and something like a great burning mountain was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,
9and a third of the living creatures in the sea — those having souls — died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.
11And the name of the star is called the Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck so that a third of them would be darkened and a third of the day would not shine, and the night likewise.
13And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in midheaven saying with a great voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those dwelling on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound."
