And when
he had opened
the seventh
seal
, there was
silence
in
heaven
about the space of
half an hour
.
And I saw
the seven
angels
which
stood
before
God
; and
to them
were given
seven
trumpets
.
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
.
And the smoke
of the incense
, which came with the prayers
of the saints
, ascended up
before
God
out of
the angel's
hand
.
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
.
And the seven
angels
which
had
the seven
trumpets
prepared
themselves
to
sound
.
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
.
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
;
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
.
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
;
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
.
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
.
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
!
