Revelation 8

8
The Seventh Seal: Trumpets
1When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might #8:3 Lit giveadd it to the prayers of all the #8:3 Lit holy ones; i.e., God’s peoplesaints on the golden altar which was before the throne. 4And the smoke of the incense ascended from the angel’s hand with the prayers of the #8:4 See note 2 v 3saints before God. 5Then the angel #8:5 Lit has takentook the #8:5 I.e., container to burn incensecenser and filled it with the fire of the altar, and hurled it to the earth; and there were peals of thunder and sounds, and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
6And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
7The first sounded, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled 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.
8The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was hurled into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, 9and a third of the creatures which were in the sea #8:9 Lit the ones havingand had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10The 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. 11The star is named Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
12The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.
13Then I looked, and I heard #8:13 Lit one eaglean eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”
