7. When the first one blew his trumpet, there came hail and fire mixed with blood, which was hurled down to the earth. A third of the land was burned up, along with a third of the trees and all green grass.

8. When the second angel blew his trumpet, something like a large burning mountain was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned to blood,

9. a third of the creatures living in the sea died, and a third of the ships were wrecked.

10. When the third angel blew his trumpet, a large star burning like a torch fell from the sky. It fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

11. The star was called “Wormwood,” and a third of all the water turned to wormwood. Many people died from this water, because it was made bitter.

12. When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them became dark. The day lost its light for a third of the time, as did the night.

13. Then I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead cry out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth from the rest of the trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to blow!”
