¹ And when he opened the seventh seal, there followed a silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.² And I saw the seven angels that stand before God; and there were given to them seven trumpets.³ And another angel came and was standing over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne.⁴ And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.⁵ And the angel takes the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth: and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.⁶ And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

⁷ And the first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood, and they were cast on the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.⁸ 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;⁹ and there died the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, [even] those that had life; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star, burning as a torch, and it fell on the third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of the 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; that the third part of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine for the third part of it, and the night in like manner.¹³ And I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a great voice, Woe, woe, woe, for those that dwell on the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, who are yet to sound.
