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>!
