Chapter 8
|
1
|
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was
silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. |
2
|
And I saw the seven angels which stood before God;
and to them were given seven trumpets. |
3
|
And another angel came and stood at the altar, having
a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense,
that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints
upon the golden altar which was before the throne. |
4
|
And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers
of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's
hand. |
5
|
And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire
of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were
voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. |
6
|
And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound. |
7
|
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and
fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the
earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and
all green grass was burnt up. |
8
|
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and
the third part of the sea became blood; |
9
|
And the third part of the creatures which were in the
sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships
were destroyed. |
10
|
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great
star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell
upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains
of waters; |
11
|
And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the
third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men
died of the waters, because they were made bitter. |
12
|
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of
the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon,
and the third part of the stars; so as the third part
of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third
part of it, and the night likewise. |
13
|
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the
midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe,
woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the
other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which
are yet to sound! |
