6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
First Trumpet: Vegetation Struck
7 The first angel sounded: aAnd hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown bto the earth. And a third cof the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Second Trumpet: The Seas Struck
8 Then the second angel sounded: aAnd something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, band a third of the sea cbecame blood.
9 aAnd a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Third Trumpet: The Waters Struck
10 Then the third angel sounded: aAnd a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, band it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.
11 aThe name of the star is Wormwood. bA third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
