¹ And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.

² And I saw the seven angels who stood before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer. And many incenses were given to him, so that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar before the throne.

⁴ And the smoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God from the angel's hand.

⁵ And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and cast it into the earth. And voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake occurred.

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 mixed with blood, and they were cast on the earth. And the third part of trees was burned up, and all green grass was burned 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 in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.

¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and a great star burning like a lamp fell from the heaven, and it fell on the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of waters.

¹¹ And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was stricken, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day did not appear for a third part of it, and the night also.

¹³ And I saw and I heard one angel flying in mid-heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, from the rest of the voices of the trumpet of the three angels being about to sound!
