NASB Bible

Revelation 8

The Seventh Seal--the Trumpets

1

When the Lamb broke the  aseventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2

And I saw  athe seven angels who stand before God, and seven  btrumpets were given to them.

3

 aAnother angel came and stood at the  baltar, holding a  cgolden censer; and much  dincense was given to him, so that he might  1add it to the  dprayers of all the  2saints on the  egolden altar which was before the throne.

4

And  athe smoke of the incense,  1with the prayers of the  2saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

5

Then the angel  1took the censer and  afilled it with the fire of the altar, and  bthrew it to the earth; and there followed  cpeals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an  dearthquake.

6

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

7

The first sounded, and there came  ahail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and  ba third of the earth was burned up, and  ba third of the  ctrees were burned up, and all the green  cgrass was burned up.

8

The second angel sounded, and something like a great  amountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and  ba third of the  csea became blood,

9

and  aa third of the creatures which were in the sea  1and had life, died; and a third of the  bships were destroyed.

10

The third angel sounded, and a great star  afell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a  bthird of the rivers and on the  csprings of waters.

11

The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a  athird of the waters became  bwormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

12

The fourth angel sounded, and a  athird of the  bsun and a third of the  bmoon and a  athird of the  bstars were struck, so that a  athird of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a  athird of it, and the night in the same way.

13

Then I looked, and I heard  1an eagle flying in  amidheaven, saying with a loud voice, " bWoe, woe, woe to  cthose who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the  dthree angels who are about to sound!"
