Revelation 8

1WhenG3752 the Lamb openedG455 theG3588 seventhG1442 sealG4973, there wasG1096 silenceG4602 inG1722 heavenG3772 for aboutG5613 half an hourG2256. 2AndG2532 I sawG3708 theG3588 sevenG2033 angelsG32 whoG3739 standG2476 beforeG1799 GodG2316, andG2532 theyG846 were givenG1325 sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536.

3ThenG2532 anotherG243 angelG32, who hadG2192 a goldenG5552 censerG3031, cameG2064 andG2532 stoodG2476 atG1909 theG3588 altarG2379. HeG846 was givenG1325 muchG4183 incenseG2368 toG2443 offerG1325, along with theG3588 prayersG4335 of allG3956 theG3588 saintsG40, onG1909 theG3588 goldenG5552 altarG2379 beforeG1799 theG3588 throneG2362. 4AndG2532 theG3588 smokeG2586 of theG3588 incenseG2368, together with theG3588 prayersG4335 of theG3588 saintsG40, rose upG305 beforeG1799 GodG2316 fromG1537 the handG5495 of theG3588 angelG32.

5ThenG2532 theG3588 angelG32 tookG2983 theG3588 censerG3031, filledG1072 itG846 withG1537 fireG4442 from theG3588 altarG2379, andG2532 hurledG906 it toG1519 theG3588 earthG1093; andG2532 there wereG1096 peals of thunderG1027, rumblingsG5456, flashes of lightningG796, andG2532 an earthquakeG4578.

The First Four Trumpets

6AndG2532 theG3588 sevenG2033 angelsG32 withG2192 theG3588 sevenG2033 trumpetsG4536 preparedG2090 toG2443 soundG4537 them.

7ThenG2532 theG3588 firstG4413 angel sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 hailG5464 andG2532 fireG4442 mixedG3396 withG1722 bloodG129 were hurled downG906 uponG1519 theG3588 earthG1093. AG3588 thirdG5154 ofG3588 the earthG1093 was burned upG2618, along withG2532 aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 treesG1186 andG2532 allG3956 the greenG5515 grassG5528.

8ThenG2532 theG3588 secondG1208 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 something likeG5613 a greatG3173 mountainG3735 burningG2545 with fireG4442 was thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281. AG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 seaG2281 turned toG1096 bloodG129, 9aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 livingG3588G2192G5590 creaturesG2938 inG1722 theG3588 seaG2281 diedG599, andG2532 aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 shipsG4143 were destroyedG1311.

10ThenG2532 theG3588 thirdG5154 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 a greatG3173 starG792 burningG2545 likeG5613 a torchG2985 fellG4098 fromG1537 heavenG3772 andG2532 landed onG1909 aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 riversG4215 andG2532 onG1909 theG3588 springsG4077 ofG3588 waterG5204. 11TheG3588 nameG3686 of theG3588 starG792 is WormwoodG894. AG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 watersG5204 turnedG1096G1519 bitter like wormwood oilG894,1 andG2532 manyG4183 peopleG444 diedG599 fromG1537 theG3588 bitterG4087 watersG5204.

12ThenG2532 theG3588 fourthG5067 angelG32 sounded his trumpetG4537, andG2532 aG3588 thirdG5154 of theG3588 sunG2246 andG2532 moonG4582 andG2532 starsG792 were struckG4141. AG3588 thirdG5154 ofG846 the stars were darkenedG4654, aG3588 thirdG5154 ofG846 theG3588 dayG2250 was without lightG3361G5316, andG2532 a third of theG3588 nightG3571 as wellG3668.

13AndG2532 as I observedG3708, I heardG191 anG1520 eagleG105 flyingG4072 overheadG1722G3321, callingG3004 in a loud voiceG3173G5456, “WoeG3759! WoeG3759! WoeG3759 to those whoG3588 dwellG2730 onG1909 theG3588 earthG1093, because ofG1537 theG3588 trumpetG4536 blastsG5456 aboutG3195 to be soundedG4537 by theG3588 remainingG3062 threeG5140 angelsG32!”
