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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
!"
