8:1  When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there came silence in heaven for about half an hour.

8:2   And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

8:3   Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; having much incense, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which appeared before the throne.

8:4   And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

8:5   Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

8:6   And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

8:7  The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they the angels threw them to the earth; and a third of the earth burned up, and a third of the trees burned up, and all the green grass burned up.

8:8   The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire which he threw into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood,

8:9   and a third of the creatures which lived in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships suffered destruction.

8:10   The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.

8:11   The star had the name of Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they had become bitter.

8:12  The fourth angel sounded, and struck a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars , so that a third of them would become dark and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.

8:13  Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, " Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who would soon sound!"
