요한계시록 8장 [NIV]

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

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

3. 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne.

4. 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angels hand.

5. 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

6. 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.

7. 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

8. 8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,

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

10. 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water--

11. 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

12. 12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

13. 13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!"
