² And I saw the seven angels^(A) who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.^(B)

The Seventh Trumpet

¹⁵ The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,^(A) and there were loud voices^(B) in heaven, which said:

¹⁹ The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel.^(A) I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.

The Trumpets

⁶ Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets^(A) prepared to sound them.

⁷ The first angel^(B) sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire^(C) mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third^(D) of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.^(E)

⁸ The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain,^(F) all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third^(G) of the sea turned into blood,^{(H) 9} a third^(I) of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky^(J) on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water^(K)— ¹¹ the name of the star is Wormwood.^[a] A third^(L) of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.^(M)

¹² The fourth angel sounded 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^(N) of them turned dark.^(O) A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.^(P)

¹³ As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair^(Q) call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe^(R) to the inhabitants of the earth,^(S) because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

9 The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.^(T) The star was given the key^(U) to the shaft of the Abyss.^(V)

The Parable of the Wandering Sheep^(A)

¹⁰ “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels^(B) in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

16 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple^(A) saying to the seven angels,^(B) “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”^(C)

Seven Angels With Seven Plagues

15 I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign:^(A) seven angels^(B) with the seven last plagues^(C)—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed.

¹³ The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns^(A) of the golden altar that is before God.^{(B) 14} It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels^(C) who are bound at the great river Euphrates.”^(D)
