1. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
2. And I saw seven Angels standing in the sight of God. And seven trumpets were given to them.
3. And another Angel approached, and he stood before the altar, holding a golden censer. And much incense was given to him, so that he might offer upon the golden altar, which is before the throne of God, the prayers of all the saints.
4. And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended, in the presence of God, from the hand of the Angel.
5. And the Angel received the golden censer, and he filled it from the fire of the altar, and he cast it down upon the earth, and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake.
6. And the seven Angels who hold the seven trumpets prepared themselves, in order to sound the trumpet.
7. And the first Angel sounded the trumpet. And there came hail and fire, mixed with blood; and it was cast down upon the earth. And a third part of the earth was burned, and a third part of the trees was entirely burned up, and all the green plants were burned.
8. And the second Angel sounded the trumpet. And something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast down into the sea. And a third part of the sea became like blood.
