Revelation 8:8-12
English Standard Version
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like (A)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea (B)became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of (C)the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and (D)a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on (E)the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters (F)became wormwood, and many people died from the water, (G)because it had been made bitter.
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of (H)the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

Zechariah 13:8-9
English Standard Version
8 In the whole land, declares the Lord,
two thirds shall be cut off and perish,
(A)and one third shall be left alive.
9 And (B)I will put this third into the fire,
and refine them as one refines silver,
and test them as gold is tested.
(C)They will call upon my name,
and (D)I will answer them.
(E)I will say, ‘They are my people’;
and they will say, ‘The Lord is my God.’”
