- 1And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
- 2Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven trumpets.
- 3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer. He was given a large amount of incense to offer with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar that stands before the throne.
- 4The smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, rose up from the angel's hand before God.
- 5Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. There were voices, thunder, lightning, and an earthquake.
- 6The 7 angels with the 7 trumpets prepared to blow them.
- 7The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire mixed with blood were cast upon the earth. 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 mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and a third of the sea became blood;
- 9a 3rd of all the living creatures in the sea died, and a 3rd of the ships were destroyed.
- 10The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from heaven. It landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
- 11The star's name was Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
- 12The fourth angel blew 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 were darkened. The day did not shine for a third of it, and the night was the same.
- 13Then I looked and heard an angel flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!"
