| 2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. | 2Then I saw the seven angels who stand in God's presence, and seven trumpets were given to them. |
| 3Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. | 3Another angel came with a gold censer and stood at the altar.

| 4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand. | 4The smoke from the incense and the prayers of the saints went up from the angel's hand to God. |
| 5Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake. | 5The angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it on the earth.

| 6And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them. | 6The seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them. |
| 7The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. | 7When the first angel blew his trumpet, hail and fire were mixed with blood and thrown on the earth.

One-third of the sea turned into blood, |
| 9and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed. | 9one-third of the creatures that were living in the sea died, and one-third of the ships was destroyed. |
| 10The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. | 10When the third angel blew his trumpet, a huge star blazing like a torch fell from heaven. It fell on one-third of the rivers and on the springs of water. |
| 11The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter. | 11The name of the star is Wormwood. One-third of the water turned into wormwood, and many people died from the water because it had turned bitter. |
| 12The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. | 12When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, one-third of the sun, one-third of the moon, and one-third of the stars were struck so that one-third of them turned dark. One-third of the day was kept from having light, as was the night. |
| 13Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in midheaven, saying with a loud voice, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!" | 13Then I looked, and I heard an eagle flying overhead say in a loud voice, "How terrible, how terrible, how terrible for those living on the earth, because of the blasts of the remaining trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!" |
