Revelation of John 8:7-12

7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed ^chail and ^dfire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a ^ethird of the earth was burned up, and a third of ^fthe trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ^ga great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^hbecame blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of ⁱthe ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and ^ja great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on ^kthe springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood. ^{▼▼ Wormwood is the name of a plant and of the bitter-tasting extract derived from it} A third of the waters ^mbecame wormwood, and many people died from the water, ⁿbecause it had been made bitter.

12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of ^othe 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.
