4. The smoke of the burning incense went up with the prayers of God's people from the hands of the angel standing before God.
5. Then the angel took the incense burner, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth. There were rumblings and peals of thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6. Then the seven angels with the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
7. The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire, mixed with blood, came pouring down on the earth. A third of the earth was burnt up, a third of the trees, and every blade of green grass.
