8:1  · When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, · there was silence in · heaven for about half an hour.
8:2  Then I saw the seven angels who stand before · God, and to them were given seven trumpets.
8:3  And another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer. · To him was given a large quantity of incense to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar · that is before the throne.
8:4  And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. ·
8:5  Then the angel took the censer and filled it with · fire from the altar and threw it down on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, · rumblings, · flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
8:6  And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made themselves ready to blow them.
8:7  · The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it was thrown down on 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.
8:8  · The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown down into the sea, and a third of the sea turned into blood,
8:9  · a third of the living creatures · in the sea · died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
8:10  · The third angel blew his trumpet, and there fell from · heaven a great star, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
8:11  · The name of the star is · Wormwood. · A third of the waters became wormwood, and many · people died from the waters because they had been made bitter.
8:12  · The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened; · for a third of the day there was no light, and for a third of the night as well.
8:13  Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, “Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth because of the blasts of the other · trumpets that the three angels · are about to blow!”
