Revelation 8:6–13

The Seven Trumpets

⁶Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.^x

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

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

¹⁰The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.^{* 11}The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water because it was made bitter.^*

¹²The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining and likewise the night.^*

¹³Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew in midheaven, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”^*
