Det sjunde sigillet bryts
8 När Lammet bröt det sjunde sigillet, blev det tyst i himlen omkring en halv timme.
De sju änglarna med de sju basunerna
2 Och jag såg de sju änglarna[a] som står inför Gud, och åt dem gavs sju basuner. 3 Då kom en annan ängel, som hade ett rökelsekar av guld, och ställde sig vid altaret. Åt honom gavs mycket rökelse, som han skulle lägga till alla de heligas böner på guldaltaret framför tronen. 4 Och röken från rökelsen tillsammans med de heligas böner steg från ängelns hand upp inför Gud. 5 Ängeln tog rökelsekaret, fyllde det med elden från altaret och kastade ner den på jorden, och det åskade, dundrade och blixtrade och jorden skälvde. 6 Och de sju änglarna med de sju basunerna gjorde sig redo att blåsa i dem.
De fyra första basunerna
7 Den första ängeln blåste i sin basun. Då kom det hagel och eld, blandat med blod, och det kastades ner på jorden. En tredjedel av jorden brändes upp liksom en tredjedel av träden, och allt grönt gräs sveddes av.
8 Den andra ängeln blåste i sin basun. Då var det som om ett stort brinnande berg hade kastats i havet. En tredjedel av havet blev till blod, 9 och en tredjedel av allt liv i havet dog, och en tredjedel av alla fartyg gick under.
10 Den tredje ängeln blåste i sin basun. Då föll en stor stjärna, brinnande som en fackla, ner från himlen, och den föll över en tredjedel av floderna och vattenkällorna. 11 Stjärnans namn är Malört. En tredjedel av vattnen förvandlades då till malört, och många människor dog av vattnen, som hade blivit förgiftade.
12 Den fjärde ängeln blåste i sin basun. Då träffades en tredjedel av solen och en tredjedel av månen och en tredjedel av stjärnorna, så att tredjedelen av dem förmörkades och dagen förlorade tredjedelen av sitt ljus, och natten likaså.
13 Och jag såg, och jag hörde en örn flyga högst uppe på himlen. Den ropade med hög röst: "Ve, ve, ve över jordens invånare för de basunstötar som återstår, när de tre andra änglarna blåser i sina basuner."

Det sjunde sigillet bryts. De sju trumpeterna
8 När Lammet bröt det sjunde sigillet, blev det tyst i himlen i ungefär en halvtimme. 2 Sedan fick jag se de sju änglarna som står inför Gud, och de fick var sin trumpet.
3 En annan ängel kom och ställde sig vid altaret med en rökelseskål av guld, och han fick mycket rökelse. Den skulle han offra på altaret av guld framför tronen, tillsammans med de heligas böner. 4 Och röken från rökelsen, tillsammans med de heligas böner, steg upp inför Gud från ängelns hand.[a]
5 Ängeln fyllde sedan rökelseskålen med eld från altaret, och kastade ner den på jorden. Det började blixtra och mullra av åska, och det blev jordbävning.
Sex änglar blåser i sina trumpeter
6 Sedan gjorde sig de sju änglarna beredda att blåsa i sina sju trumpeter.
7 Den första ängeln blåste i sin trumpet, och då kom hagel och eld blandat med blod och föll ner över jorden. En tredjedel av jorden brändes upp, och en tredjedel av alla träd brann upp, och allt grönt gräs brändes upp.
8 Sedan blåste den andra ängeln i sin trumpet, och då kastades något som såg ut som ett stort brinnande berg ner i havet. En tredjedel av havet blev till blod, 9 och en tredjedel av allt levande i havet dog, och alla fartyg gick under. 10 Den tredje ängeln blåste nu i sin trumpet, och då kom en stor flammande stjärna från himlen och föll ner på en tredjedel av floderna och vattenkällorna. 11 Stjärnan kallades ”Malört”, och en tredjedel av vattnen förvandlades till malört, och många människor dog av vattnet som hade blivit bittert.
12 Efter det blåste den fjärde ängeln i sin trumpet, och då skadades en tredjedel av solen och en tredjedel av månen och en tredjedel av stjärnorna, så att en tredjedel av dem förmörkades. Det fanns inget ljus under en tredjedel av dagen, och likadant inget under en tredjedel av natten. 13 Sedan såg jag och hörde en örn flyga mitt över himlen och ropa med hög röst: ”Ve, ve, ve över dem som bor på jorden, när de tre sista änglarna nu ska blåsa i sina trumpeter.”

Revelation 8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
8 When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer; and he was given much incense to mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne; 4 and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel before God. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth;[a] and there were peals of thunder, loud noises, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
The Seven Trumpets
6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets made ready to blow them.
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, which fell on the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea; 9 and a third of the sea became blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the water, because it was made bitter.
12 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 their light was darkened; a third of the day was kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice, as it flew in midheaven, “Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets which the three angels are about to blow!”

Revelation 8
King James Version
8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
5 And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
9 And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people,(E) on the golden altar(F) in front of the throne. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God(G) from the angel’s hand. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar,(H) and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder,(I) rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.(J)

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