Revelation 8 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 who 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 with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God, out of the angels 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 thundrings, and lightnings, and voices, and an earthquake. ⁶ And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound. ⁷ And the first sounded, and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of the earth was burnt up, and the third part of the trees, and all the 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 heave, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, 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 fourth part of it, and the night likewise. ¹³ And I beheld, and heard an eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo to the inhabiters of the earth, by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels which are yet to sound.
