Revelation 8:6-12
English Standard Version
The Seven Trumpets
6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed (A)hail and (B)fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a (C)third of the earth was burned up, and a third of (D)the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like (E)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea (F)became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of (G)the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and (H)a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on (I)the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters (J)became wormwood, and many people died from the water, (K)because it had been made bitter.
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of (L)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.
