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.

Fourth Trumpet: The Heavens Struck

12 ^aThen the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day¹ did not shine, and likewise the night.

13 And I looked, ^aand I heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, ^b“Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!”
