6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed ^xhail and ^yfire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And ^za third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, ^aburning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^bbecame blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea ^cdied, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star ^dfell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.¹ A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of ^ethe sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be ^fdarkened, and a third of the day might be 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 directly overhead, ^g“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
