Revelation 8:6-12

61And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

7The first sounded, and there came 2hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and 3a third of the earth was burned up, and 4a third of the 5trees were burned up, and all the green 6grass was burned up.

8The second angel sounded, and something like a great 7mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and 8a third of the 9sea became blood, 9and 10a third of the creatures which were in the sea 11and had life, died; and a third of the 12ships were destroyed.

10The third angel sounded, and a great star 13fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a 14third of the rivers and on the 15springs of waters. 11The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a 16third of the waters became 17wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

12The fourth angel sounded, and a 18third of the 19sun and a third of the 20moon and a 21third of the 22stars were struck, so that a 23third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a 24third of it, and the night in the same way.
