Revelation 8:1-7 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

2. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

3. And another angel who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and a large amount of incense was given to him, in order that he could offer the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne.

4. And the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel.

5. And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire from the altar and threw it to the earth, and there were thunders and sounds and lightnings and an earthquake.

6. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves in order to blow them.

7. And the first blew the trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was thrown to the earth, and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
