8:1  When the lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, lasting about half an hour.
8:2  I saw the seven angels who were standing in front of God; they were given seven trumpets.
8:3  Another angel came and stood before the altar. He was holding a golden censer, and he was given a large quantity of incense so that he could offer it, along with the prayers of all God’s holy people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.
8:4  The smoke of incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose up from the hand of the angel in front of God.
8:5  Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. There were crashes of thunder, loud rumblings, lightning, and an earthquake.
8:6  Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.
8:7  The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth was burnt up, a third of the trees were burnt up, and so was every blade of green grass.
8:8  Then the second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, flaming with fire, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
8:9  a third of all living sea-creatures died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
8:10  Then the third angel blew his trumpet, and a huge star, burning like a torch, fell from the sky, falling on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
8:11  The name of the star is Poisonwood: a third of the waters turned to poison, and many people died because of the waters that had become bitter.
8:12  Then 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 their light would be darkened, with a third of the day losing its light and a third of the night as well.
8:13  Then I looked, and I heard a lone eagle flying in mid-heaven, and calling out loudly. “Woe, woe, woe to the earth-dwellers,” it called, “because of the sound of the other trumpets that the last three angels are going to blow!”
