And when
he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence
in heaven about the space of half an hour.
02 And I saw the seven angels which stood before
God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
03 And another angel came and stood at the altar,
having a golden censer; and there was given unto
him much incense, that he should offer it with
the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar
which was before the throne.
04 And the smoke of the incense, which came with
the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God
out of the angel's hand.
05 And the angel took the censer, and filled it
with fire of the altar, and cast it into the
earth: and there were voices, and thunderings,
and lightnings, and an earthquake.
06 And the seven angels which had the seven
trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
07 The first angel sounded, and there followed
hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were
cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees
was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

08 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;
09 And the third part of the creatures which were
in the sea, and had life, died; and the third
part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a
great star from heaven, burning as it were a
lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the
rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood:
and the third part of the waters became wormwood;
and many men died of the waters, because they
were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third
part of the sun was smitten, and the third part
of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so
as the third part of them was darkened, and the
day shone not for a third part of it, and the
night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying
through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud
voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the
earth by reason of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to
sound!
