² Then I saw the seven angels ^(A)who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

The Seven Trumpets

⁶ Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.

⁷ The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed ^(A)hail and ^(B)fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a ^(C)third of the earth was burned up, and a third of ^(D)the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

⁸ The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ^(E)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^(F)became blood.

¹² The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of ^(A)the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

¹³ Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, ^(A)“Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”

¹⁴ saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release ^(A)the four angels who are bound at ^(B)the great river Euphrates.”
