1 And  when  he had opened  the seventh  seal  , there was  silence  in  heaven  about the space of  half a 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  to him  much  incense  , that  he should offer  [it] with the prayers  of all  saints  on  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  on  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  on  the third part  of the rivers  , and  on  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 saw  , 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
