11 The name of the star was Bitterness.[a] And a third of all the water became bitter. Many people died from drinking this bitter water.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet. Then a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck. So a third of them became dark. A third of the day and night was without light.
