Revelation 8
1And whenG3752 he openedG455 the seventhG1442 sealG4973, there followed a silenceG4602 in heavenG3772 about the space of half an hour. 2And I sawG3708 the sevenG2033 angelsG32 that standG2476 before GodG2316; and there were givenG1325 unto them sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536.
3And another angelG32 cameG2064 and stoodG2476 over the altarG2379, having a goldenG5552 censerG3031; and there was givenG1325 unto him muchG4183 incenseG2368, that he should add it unto the prayersG4335 of all the saintsG40 upon the goldenG5552 altarG2379 which was before the throneG2362. 4And the smokeG2586 of the incenseG2368, with the prayersG4335 of the saintsG40, wentG305 up before GodG2316 out of the angel’s handG5495. 5And the angelG32 taketh the censerG3031; and he filledG1072 it with the fireG4442 of the altarG2379, and castG906 it upon the earthG1093: and there followed thundersG1027, and voicesG5456, and lightnings, and an earthquakeG4578.
6And the sevenG2033 angelsG32 that had the sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536 preparedG2090 themselves to soundG4537.
7And the firstG4413 soundedG4537, and there followed hailG5464 and fireG4442, mingled with bloodG129, and they were castG906 upon the earthG1093: and the thirdG5154 part of the earthG1093 was burnt up, and the thirdG5154 part of the treesG1186 was burnt up, and all greenG5515 grassG5528 was burnt up.
8And the secondG1208 angelG32 soundedG4537, and as it were a greatG3173 mountainG3735 burningG2545 with fireG4442 was castG906 into the seaG2281: and the thirdG5154 part of the seaG2281 becameG1096 bloodG129; 9and there diedG599 the thirdG5154 part of the creaturesG2938 which were in the seaG2281, evenG2532 they that had lifeG5590; and the thirdG5154 part of the shipsG4143 was destroyedG1311.
10And the thirdG5154 angelG32 soundedG4537, and there fellG4098 from heavenG3772 a greatG3173 starG792, burningG2545 as a torch, and it fellG4098 upon the thirdG5154 part of the riversG4215, and upon the fountains of the watersG5204; 11and the nameG3686 of the starG792 is called WormwoodG894: and the thirdG5154 part of the watersG5204 becameG1096 wormwoodG894; and manyG4183 menG444 diedG599 of the watersG5204, because they were made bitterG4087.
12And the fourth angelG32 soundedG4537, and the thirdG5154 part of the sunG2246 was smitten, and the thirdG5154 part of the moonG4582, and the thirdG5154 part of the starsG792; that the thirdG5154 part of them should be darkenedG4654, and the dayG2250 should not shineG5316 for the thirdG5154 part of it, and the nightG3571 in like manner.
13And I sawG3708, and I heardG191 an eagleG105, flyingG4072 in mid heaven, sayingG3004 with a greatG3173 voiceG5456, WoeG3759, woeG3759, woeG3759, for them that dwellG2730 on the earthG1093, by reason of the otherG3062 voicesG5456 of the trumpetG4536 of the threeG5140 angelsG32, who are yet to soundG5456.
