Revelation
8:1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
about the space of half an hour.
8:2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were
given seven trumpets.
8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer;
and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the
throne.
8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints,
ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
8:5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and
cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and
lightnings, and an earthquake.
8:6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to
sound.
8:7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with
blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees
was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8:8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning
with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became
blood;
8:9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life,
died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
8:10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven,
burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the
waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten,
and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as
the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third
part of it, and the night likewise.
8:13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which
are yet to sound!
