8:1  When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
8:2  And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
8:3  Another angel with a golden censer came and stood at the altar; he was given a great quantity of incense to offer 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 on the earth; and there were peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
8:6  Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.
8:7  The first angel blew his trumpet, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were hurled to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8:8  The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea.
8:9  A third of the sea became blood, 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 a great star fell from heaven, 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 died from the water, because it was 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 their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise the night.
8:13  Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew in mid-heaven, ‘Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!’
