The Seventh Seal—the Trumpets
8
When the Lamb broke the Aseventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw Athe seven angels who stand before God, and seven Btrumpets were given to them.
AAnother angel came and stood at the Baltar, holding a Cgolden censer; and much Dincense was given to him, so that he might 1add it to the Dprayers of all the 2saints on the Egolden altar which was before the throne. And Athe smoke of the incense, 1with the prayers of the 2saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. Then the angel 1took the censer and Afilled it with the fire of the altar, and Bthrew it to the earth; and there followed Cpeals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an Dearthquake.
AAnd the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.
The first sounded, and there came Ahail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and Ba third of the earth was burned up, and Ba third of the Ctrees were burned up, and all the green Cgrass was burned up.
The second angel sounded, and something like a great Amountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and Ba third of the Csea became blood, and Aa third of the creatures which were in the sea 1and had life, died; and a third of the Bships were destroyed.
10 The third angel sounded, and a great star Afell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a Bthird of the rivers and on the Csprings of waters. 11 The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a Athird of the waters became Bwormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 The fourth angel sounded, and a Athird of the Bsun and a third of the Bmoon and a Athird of the Bstars were struck, so that a Athird of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a Athird of it, and the night in the same way.
13  Then I looked, and I heard 1an eagle flying in Amidheaven, saying with a loud voice, “BWoe, woe, woe to Cthose who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the Dthree angels who are about to sound!”
