Revelation 8

1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for around half an hour.

And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour:

2 I saw the seven angels that stand before God. They were given seven trumpets.

and I saw the seven angels, that stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them.

3 Then another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a golden censer and he was given a large quantity of incense to add to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that stands in front of the throne.

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to Him much incense, that He might present it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar, which was before the throne.

4 The smoke of the incense rose together with the prayers of the saints before God from the hand of the angel.

And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel, before God.

5 The angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it down upon the earth; there was the sound of thunder, with lightning flashes, and a terrible earthquake.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

6 Then the seven angels holding the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

And the seven angels, that had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound their trumpets.

7 The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood rained down on the earth. One third of the earth was burned up, one third of the trees were burned up and all the green grass was burned up.

And the first angel sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast down upon the earth: and a third part of the trees and every green herb was burnt up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet. Something looking like a huge mountain of flaming fire was thrown into the sea. One third of the sea turned to blood,

And the second angel sounded, and I saw as it were a great mountain on fire cast into the sea, and a third part of the sea became blood.

9 and one third of the creatures that lived in the sea died, and one third of all ships were destroyed.

And a third part of the creatures in the sea, that had life, died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet. A great star fell from heaven, blazing brightly. It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water.

And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third part of the rivers, and the fountains of waters: and the name of the star is Wormwood;

11 The name of the star is Wormwood, and one third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from drinking the water because it had become poisonous.

and a third part of the waters became as wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they were bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet. One third of the sun, moon, and stars were struck so a third of them would be darkened, and a third part of the day would not give light, similarly the night.

And the fourth angel sounded, and a third part of the sun was smitten, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day lost a third part of it's light, and the night likewise.

13 I saw and heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, shouting loudly, “Disaster, disaster, disaster is coming to those who live on the earth because of what is going to happen when the three remaining angels blow their trumpets.”

And I beheld, and heard an angel flying in the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo to the inhabitants on the earth from the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, that are yet to sound.
