Revelation 8:6–13

THE SEVEN TRUMPETS

⁶And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

THE FIRST TRUMPET

⁷The first angel blew his trumpet, and hail and fire, mixed with blood, were hurled to the earth.^q So a third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.^r

THE SECOND TRUMPET

⁸The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain ablaze with fire was hurled into the sea.^s So a third of the sea became blood,^{t 9}a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

THE THIRD TRUMPET

¹⁰The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from heaven.^u It fell on a third of the rivers and springs of water. ¹¹The name of the star is Wormwood,^v and a third of the waters became wormwood. So, many of the people died from the waters, because they had been made bitter.

THE FOURTH TRUMPET

¹²The fourth angel blew his trumpet, 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 day was without light and also a third of the night.^w

¹³I looked and heard an eagle^A flying high overhead, crying out in a loud voice, “Woe!^x Woe! Woe to those who live on the earth, because of the remaining trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to sound!”
