tains of the waters of life, and God shall
wipe away every tear from their eyes.

CHAPTER V.

THE SEVENTH SEAL, THE FIRST FIVE TRUMPETS, THE STAR THAT FELL FROM
HEAVEN, THE LOCUSTS, ETC.

1 [8:1]AND when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven
about half an hour. [8:2]And I saw the seven angels who stand before
God, and there were given them seven trumpets. [8:3]And another angel
came and stood by the altar, having a golden censer, and there was
given him much incense to present with the prayers of all the saints on
the golden altar before the throne. [8:4] And a cloud of incense
ascended with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel
before God. [8:5]And the angel took the censer and filled it from the
fire of the altar, and cast it on the earth; and there were thunders
and lightning and voices and an earthquake.

2 [8:6]And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared
themselves to sound. [8:7]And the first sounded; and there was hail and
fire mingled with blood, and it was cast on the earth; and a third part
of the earth was consumed, and a third part of the trees were consumed,
and all the green grass was consumed.

3 [8:8]And the second angel sounded; and the appearance of a great
mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea; and a third part of
the sea became blood, [8:9]and a third part of the creatures in the sea
having life died, and a third part of the ships were destroyed.

star, burning like a lamp, and it fell on a third part of the rivers
and on the fountains of waters. [8:11]And the name of the star was
called Bitterness. And a third part of the waters became bitter, and
many men died by the waters, because they were bitter.

5 [8:12]And the fourth angel sounded; and a third part of the sun was
smitten, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars,
and a third part of them were darkened, and the day did not appear a
third part of it, nor the night. [8:13]And I saw, and heard an eagle
flying in the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe,
to those who live on the earth on account of the other voices of the
trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound.

6 [9:1]And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star fall from heaven
to the earth, and there was given him the key of the pit of the abyss.
[9:2]And he opened the pit of the abyss; and there arose
