8:2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand firm and established in the presence of God, and seven trumpets were given to them [w]. • 3 Another angel came and stood at the golden altar, having a censer, and much incense was given to him, which he will offer with the prayers of all the devoted ones upon the golden altar before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense went up in the presence of God with the prayers of the devoted ones, out of the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it out from the fire of the altar and cast it into the earth; and there were thunders, noises, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake. • 6 And the seven angels, who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound their trumpets. 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet; and hail and fire mixed with blood were cast into the earth; and a third of the earth was consumed, a third of the trees were consumed, and all green grass was consumed. 8 The second angel sounded his trumpet; and something like a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood; 9 a third of the living creatures inside the sea died; and a third of the ships were destroyed. 10 Then the third angel sounded his trumpet; and a great star fell out of heaven, burning like a torch. It fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of waters. 11 The name of the star is called absinthe [in the common tongue called wormwood]; and a third of the waters became absinthe, and many humans died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet; and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars; that a third of them should be darkened, that the day should not appear for a third of it, and the night likewise. 13 And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying inside the zenith of heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe, for those dwelling upon the earth because of the remaining trumpet voices of the three angels about to sound their trumpets. |
