KJVAnd^G2532 the angel^G32 took^G2983^(G5758) the censer^G3031, and^G2532 filled^G1072^(G5656) it^G846 with^G1537 fire^G4442 of the altar^G2379, and^G2532 cast^G906^(G5627) it into^G1519 the earth^G1093: and^G2532 there were^G1096^(G5633) voices^G5456, and^G2532 thunderings^G1027, and^G2532 lightnings^G796, and^G2532 an earthquake^G4578.

KJVAnd^G2532 the seven^G2033 angels^G32 which^G3588 had^G2192^(G5723) the seven^G2033 trumpets^G4536 prepared^G2090^(G5656) themselves^G1438 to^G2443 sound^G4537^(G5661).

⁷ The first sounded, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. One third of the earth was burned up, and one third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

KJV^G2532 The first^G4413 angel^G32 sounded^G4537^(G5656), and^G2532 there followed^G1096^(G5633) hail^G5464 and^G2532 fire^G4442 mingled^G3396^(G5772) with blood^G129, and^G2532 they were cast^G906^(G5681) upon^G1519 the earth^G1093: and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of trees^G1186 was burnt up^G2618^(G5648), and^G2532 all^G3956 green^G5515 grass^G5528 was burnt up^G2618^(G5648).

KJVAnd^G2532 the second^G1208 angel^G32 sounded^G4537^(G5656), and^G2532 as it were^G5613 a great^G3173 mountain^G3735 burning^G2545^(G5746) with fire^G4442 was cast^G906^(G5681) into^G1519 the sea^G2281: and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the sea^G2281 became^G1096^(G5633) blood^G129;

⁹ and one third of the living creatures which were in the sea died. One third of the ships were destroyed.

KJVAnd^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the creatures^G2938 which^G3588 were in^G1722 the sea^G2281, and had^G2192^(G5723) life^G5590, died^G599^(G5627); and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the ships^G4143 were destroyed^G1311^(G5648).

KJVAnd^G2532 the third^G5154 angel^G32 sounded^G4537^(G5656), and^G2532 there fell^G4098^(G5627) a great^G3173 star^G792 from^G1537 heaven^G3772, burning^G2545^(G5746) as it were^G5613 a lamp^G2985, and^G2532 it fell^G4098^(G5627) upon^G1909 the third part^G5154 of the rivers^G4215, and^G2532 upon^G1909 the fountains^G4077 of waters^G5204;

¹¹ The name of the star is “Wormwood.” One third of the waters became wormwood. Many people died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

KJVAnd^G2532 the name^G3686 of the star^G792 is called^G3004^(G5743) Wormwood^G894: and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the waters^G5204 became^G1096^(G5736)^G1519 wormwood^G894; and^G2532 many^G4183 men^G444 died^G599^(G5627) of^G1537 the waters^G5204, because^G3754 they were made bitter^G4087^(G5681).

¹² The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars, so that one third of them would be darkened; and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.

KJVAnd^G2532 the fourth^G5067 angel^G32 sounded^G4537^(G5656), and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the sun^G2246 was smitten^G4141^(G5648), and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the moon^G4582, and^G2532 the third part^G5154 of the stars^G792; so as^G2443 the third part^G5154 of them^G846 was darkened^G4654^(G5686), and^G2532 the day^G2250 shone^G5316^(G5725) not^G3361 for a third part^G5154 of it^G846, and^G2532 the night^G3571 likewise^G3668.

¹³ I saw, and I heard an eagle, flying in mid heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those who dwell on the earth, because of the other blasts of the trumpets of the three angels, who are yet to sound!”

KJVAnd^G2532 I beheld^G1492^(G5627), and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5656) an^G1520 angel^G32 flying^G4072^(G5740) through^G1722 the midst of heaven^G3321, saying^G3004^(G5723) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, Woe^G3759, woe^G3759, woe^G3759, to the inhabiters^G2730^(G5723) of^G1909 the earth^G1093 by reason of^G1537 the other^G3062 voices^G5456 of the trumpet^G4536 of the three^G5140 angels^G32, which^G3588 are yet^G3195^(G5723) to sound^G4537^(G5721)!

¹After this, I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.

KJVAnd^G2532 after^G3326 these things^G5023 I saw^G1492^(G5627) four^G5064 angels^G32 standing^G2476^(G5761) on^G1909 the four^G5064 corners^G1137 of the earth^G1093, holding^G2902^(G5723) the four^G5064 winds^G417 of the earth^G1093, that^G3363 the wind^G417 should^G4154 not^G3363 blow^G4154^(G5725) on^G1909 the earth^G1093, nor^G3383 on^G1909 the sea^G2281, nor^G3383 on^G1909 any^G3956 tree^G1186.

KJVAnd^G2532 I saw^G1492^(G5627) another^G243 angel^G32 ascending^G305^(G5631)^(G5625)^G305^(G5723) from^G575 the east^G395^G2246, having^G2192^(G5723) the seal^G4973 of the living^G2198^(G5723) God^G2316: and^G2532 he cried^G2896^(G5656) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456 to the four^G5064 angels^G32, to whom^G3739 it^G846 was given^G1325^(G5681) to hurt^G91^(G5658) the earth^G1093 and^G2532 the sea^G2281,

³ saying, “Don’t harm the earth, the sea, or the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723), Hurt^G91^(G5661) not^G3361 the earth^G1093, neither^G3383 the sea^G2281, nor^G3383 the trees^G1186, till^G891^G3739 we have sealed^G4972^(G5725)^(G5625)^G4972^(G5661) the servants^G1401 of our^G2257 God^G2316 in^G1909 their^G846 foreheads^G3359.

¹⁵ Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tabernacle over them.

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 are they^G1526^(G5748) before^G1799 the throne^G2362 of God^G2316, and^G2532 serve^G3000^(G5719) him^G846 day^G2250 and^G2532 night^G3571 in^G1722 his^G846 temple^G3485: and^G2532 he that sitteth^G2521^(G5740) on^G1909 the throne^G2362 shall dwell^G4637^(G5692) among^G1909 them^G846.

¹⁶ They will never be hungry or thirsty any more. The sun won’t beat on them, nor any heat;

KJVThey shall hunger^G3983^(G5692) no^G3756 more^G2089, neither^G3761 thirst^G1372^(G5692) any more^G2089; neither^G3761^G3361 shall^G4098 the sun^G2246 light^G4098^(G5632) on^G1909 them^G846, nor^G3761 any^G3956 heat^G2738.

¹⁷ for the Lamb who is in the middle of the throne shepherds them and leads them to springs of life-giving waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

KJVFor^G3754 the Lamb^G721 which^G3588 is in the midst^G303^G3319 of the throne^G2362 shall feed^G4165^(G5692) them^G846, and^G2532 shall lead^G3594^(G5692) them^G846 unto^G1909 living^G2198^(G5723) fountains^G4077 of waters^G5204: and^G2532 God^G2316 shall wipe away^G1813^(G5692) all^G3956 tears^G1144 from^G575 their^G846 eyes^G3788.
