Bible, King James Version
Revelation
Rev.8
[1] And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
[2] And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and
to them were given seven trumpets.
[3] And another angel came and stood at the altar, having
a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that
he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden
altar which was before the throne.
[4] And the smoke of the incense, which came with the
prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's
hand.
[5] And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire
of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices,
and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
[6] And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets
prepared themselves to sound.
[7] The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and
fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and
the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was
burnt up.
[8] And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third
part of the sea became blood;
[9] And the third part of the creatures which were in the
sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were
destroyed.
[10] And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great
star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the
third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
[11] And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the
third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of
the waters, because they were made bitter.
[12] And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of
the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the
third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was
darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the
night likewise.
[13] And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the
inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
