CHAPTER 8

:1  And when <G 3753> he had opened <G 0455> the seventh <G

1442> seal <G 4973>,

there was silence <G 4602> in heaven <G 3772> about <G 5613> the

space of half

<G 2256> an hour <G 2256>.

:2  And I saw <G 1492> the seven <G 2033> angels <G 0032> which

<G 3739> stood

<G 2476> before <G 1799> God <G 2316>; and to them were given <G

1325> seven <G

2033> trumpets <G 4536>.

:3  And another <G 0243> angel <G 0032> came <G 2064> and stood

<G 2476> at <G

1909> the altar <G 2379>, having <G 2192> a golden <G 5552>

censer <G 3031>; and

there was given <G 1325> unto him much <G 4183> incense <G 2368>,

 that he should

offer <G 1325> [it] with the prayers <G 4335> of all <G 3956>

saints <G 0040>

upon the golden <G 5552> altar <G 2379> which <G 3588> was

before <G 1799> the

throne <G 2362>.

:4  And the smoke <G 2586> of the incense <G 2368>, [which came]

with the

prayers <G 4335> of the saints <G 0040>, ascended <G 0305> up

before <G 1799>

God <G 2316> out of the angel's <G 0032> hand <G 5495>.

:5  And the angel <G 0032> took <G 2983> the censer <G 3031>,

and filled <G

1072> it with fire <G 4442> of the altar <G 2379>, and cast <G

0906> [it] into

<G 1519> the earth <G 1093>: and there were voices <G 5456>, and

thunderings <G

1027>, and lightnings <G 0796>, and an earthquake <G 4578>.

:6  And the seven <G 2033> angels <G 0032> which <G 3588> had <G

2192> the seven

<G 2033> trumpets <G 4536> prepared <G 2090> themselves <G 1438>

to sound <G

4537>.

:7  The first <G 4413> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>, and

there followed <G

1096> hail <G 5464> and fire <G 4442> mingled <G 3396> with

blood <G 0129>, and

they were cast <G 0906> upon the earth <G 1093>: and the third

<G 5154> part of

trees <G 1186> was burnt <G 2618> up, and all <G 3956> green <G

5515> grass <G

5528> was burnt <G 2618> up.

:8  And the second <G 1208> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>, and

as it were a

great <G 3173> mountain <G 3735> burning <G 2545> with fire <G

4442> was cast <G

0906> into <G 1519> the sea <G 2281>: and the third <G 5154>

part of the sea <G

2281> became <G 1096> blood <G 0129>;

:9  And the third <G 5154> part of the creatures <G 2938> which

<G 3588> were in

the sea <G 2281>, and had <G 2192> life <G 5590>, died <G 0599>;

and the third

<G 5154> part of the ships <G 4143> were destroyed <G 1311>.

:10  And the third <G 5154> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>, and

there fell <G

4098> a great <G 3173> star <G 0792> from heaven <G 3772>,

burning <G 2545> as

it were a lamp <G 2985>, and it fell <G 4098> upon the third <G

5154> part of

the rivers <G 4215>, and upon the fountains <G 4077> of waters

<G 5204>;

:11  And the name <G 3686> of the star <G 0792> is called <G

3004> Wormwood <G

0894>: and the third <G 5154> part of the waters <G 5204> became

<G 1519>

wormwood <G 0894>; and many <G 4183> men <G 0444> died <G 0599>

of the waters <G

5204>, because <G 3754> they were made <G 4087> bitter <G 4087>.

:12  And the fourth <G 5067> angel <G 0032> sounded <G 4537>,

and the third <G

5154> part of the sun <G 2246> was smitten <G 4141>, and the

third <G 5154> part

of the moon <G 4582>, and the third <G 5154> part of the stars

<G 0792>; so <G

2443> as the third <G 5154> part of them was darkened <G 4654>,

and the day <G

2250> shone <G 5316> not for a third <G 5154> part of it, and

the night <G 3571>

likewise <G 3668>.

:13  And I beheld <G 1492>, and heard <G 0191> an angel <G 0032>

flying <G 4072>

through <G 1722> the midst <G 3321> of heaven <G 3321>, saying

<G 3004> with a

loud <G 3173> voice <G 5456>, Woe <G 3759>, woe <G 3759>, woe <G

3759>, to the

inhabiters <G 2730> of the earth <G 1093> by reason <G 1537> of

the other <G

3062> voices <G 5456> of the trumpet <G 4536> of the three <G

5140> angels <G

0032>, which <G 3588> are yet <G 3195> to sound <G 4537>!
