Revelation 8:10-12
New English Translation

10 Then[a] the third angel blew his trumpet, and a huge star burning like a torch fell from the sky;[b] it landed[c] on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 (Now[d] the name of the star is[e] Wormwood.)[f] So[g] a third of the waters became wormwood,[h] and many people died from these waters because they were poisoned.[i]

12 Then[j] the 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 them were darkened. And there was no light for a third of the day[k] and for a third of the night likewise.
