8:1  When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for what seemed like half an hour.
8:2  Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and they were given seven shofars.
8:3  Another angel came and stood at the altar with a gold incense-bowl, and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all God’s people
8:4  on the gold altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of God’s people from the hand of the angel before God.
8:5  Then the angel took the incense-bowl, filled it with fire from the altar and threw it down onto the earth; and there followed peals of thunder, voices, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
8:6  Now the seven angels with the seven shofars prepared to sound them.
8:7  The first one sounded his shofar; and there came hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was thrown down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8:8  The second angel sounded his shofar, and what looked like an enormous blazing mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to 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 sounded his shofar; and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky onto a third of the rivers and onto the springs of water.
8:11  The name of the star was “Bitterness,” and a third of the water became bitter, and many people died from the water that had been turned bitter.
8:12  The fourth angel sounded his shofar; and a third of the sun was struck, also a third of the moon and a third of the stars; so that a third of them were darkened, the day had a third less light, and the night likewise.
8:13  Then I looked, and I heard a lone eagle give a loud cry, as it flew in mid-heaven, “Woe! Woe! Woe to the people living on earth, because of the remaining blasts from the three angels who have yet to sound their shofars!”
