10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and (A)a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on (B)the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters (C)became wormwood, and many people died from the water, (D)because it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of (E)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.
