¹And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in the heaven for about half an hour.

²And I saw the seven messengers who have stood before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.

³And another messenger came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and to him was given much incense, that he will give it with the prayers of all the holy ones upon the golden altar before the throne.

⁴And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the holy ones out of the hand of the messenger before God.

⁵And the messenger has taken the censer and filled it from the fire of the altar and cast it to the land; and there were thunders and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

⁶And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets prepared themselves, that they may sound the trumpets.

⁷And the first messenger sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was cast upon the land; and the third of the land was burned up, and the third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

⁸And the second messenger 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.

⁹And a third of the creatures in the sea who are having life died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰And the third messenger sounded his trumpet, and out of the sky fell a great star burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of waters.

¹¹And the name of the star is named the Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died from the waters because they were made bitter.

¹²And the fourth messenger sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars was struck, so that their third may be darkened, and the day may not appear for its third, and the night likewise.

¹³And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven saying in a loud voice: Woe, woe to those dwelling on the earth, because of the remaining voices of the trumpet of the three messengers who are being about to sound their trumpets!
