* And when he had opened the seventh seal , there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour . * And I saw the seven angels which stood before God ; and to them were given seven trumpets . * And another angel came and stood at the altar , having a golden censer ; and there was given unto him much incense , that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne . * And the smoke of the incense , which came with the prayers of the saints , ascended up before God out of the angel 's hand . * And the angel took the censer , and filled it with fire of the altar , and cast it into the earth : and there were voices , and thunderings , and lightnings , and an earthquake . * And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound . * The first angel sounded , and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood , and they were cast upon the earth : and the third part of trees was burnt up , and all green grass was burnt up . * And the second angel sounded , and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea : and the third part of the sea became blood ; * And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea , and had life , died ; and the third part of the ships were destroyed . * And the third angel sounded , and there fell a great star from heaven , burning as it were a lamp , and it fell upon the third part of the rivers , and upon the fountains of waters ; * And the name of the star is called Wormwood : and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; and many men died of the waters , because they were made bitter . * And the fourth angel sounded , and the third part of the sun was smitten , and the third part of the moon , and the third part of the stars ; so as the third part of them was darkened , and the day shone not for a third part of it , and the night likewise . * And I beheld , and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven , saying with a loud voice , Woe , woe , woe , to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels , which are yet to sound ! * And the fifth angel sounded , and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth : and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit . * And he opened the bottomless pit ; and there arose a smoke out of the pit , as the smoke of a great furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit . * And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth : and unto them was given power , as the scorpions of the earth have power . * And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth , neither any green thing , neither any tree ; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads . * And to them it was given that they should not kill them , but that they should be tormented five months : and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion , when he striketh a man . * And in those days shall men seek death , and shall not find it ; and shall desire to die , and death shall flee from them . * And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold , and their faces were as the faces of men . * And they had hair as the hair of women , and their teeth were as the teeth of lions . * And they had breastplates , as it were breastplates of iron ; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle . * And they had tails like unto scorpions , and there were stings in their tails : and their power was to hurt men five months . * And they had a king over them , which is the angel of the bottomless pit , whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon , but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon . * One woe is past ; and , behold , there come two woes more hereafter . * And the sixth angel sounded , and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God , * Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet , Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates . * And the four angels were loosed , which were prepared for an hour , and a day , and a month , and a year , for to slay the third part of men . * And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand : and I heard the number of them . * And thus I saw the horses in the vision , and them that sat on them , having breastplates of fire , and of jacinth , and brimstone : and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions ; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone . * By these three was the third part of men killed , by the fire , and by the smoke , and by the brimstone , which issued out of their mouths . * For their power is in their mouth , and in their tails : for their tails were like unto serpents , and had heads , and with them they do hurt . * And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands , that they should not worship devils , and idols of gold , and silver , and brass , and stone , and of wood : which neither can see , nor hear , nor walk : * Neither repented they of their murders , nor of their sorceries , nor of their fornication , nor of their thefts . * And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven , clothed with a cloud : and a rainbow was upon his head , and his face was as it were the sun , and his feet as pillars of fire : * And he had in his hand a little book open : and he set his right foot upon the sea , and his left foot on the earth , * And cried with a loud voice , as when a lion roareth : and when he had cried , seven thunders uttered their voices . * And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices , I was about to write : and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me , Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered , and write them not . * And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven , * And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever , who created heaven , and the things that therein are , and the earth , and the things that therein are , and the sea , and the things which are therein , that there should be time no longer : * But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel , when he shall begin to sound , the mystery of God should be finished , as he hath declared to his servants the prophets . * And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again , and said , Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth . * And I went unto the angel , and said unto him , Give me the little book . And he said unto me , Take it , and eat it up ; and it shall make thy belly bitter , but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey . * And I took the little book out of the angel 's hand , and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey : and as soon as I had eaten it , my belly was bitter . * And he said unto me , Thou must prophesy again before many peoples , and nations , and tongues , and kings . * And there was given me a reed like unto a rod : and the angel stood , saying , Rise , and measure the temple of God , and the altar , and them that worship therein . * But the court which is without the temple leave out , and measure it not ; for it is given unto the Gentiles : and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months . * And I will give power unto my two witnesses , and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days , clothed in sackcloth . * These are the two olive trees , and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth . * And if any man will hurt them , fire proceedeth out of their mouth , and devoureth their enemies : and if any man will hurt them , he must in this manner be killed . * These have power to shut heaven , that it rain not in the days of their prophecy : and have power over waters to turn them to blood , and to smite the earth with all plagues , as often as they will . * And when they shall have finished their testimony , the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them , and shall overcome them , and kill them . * And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city , which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt , where also our Lord was crucified . * And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half , and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves . * And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them , and make merry , and shall send gifts one to another ; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth . * And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them , and they stood upon their feet ; and great fear fell upon them which saw them . * And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them , Come up hither . And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud ; and their enemies beheld them . * And the same hour was there a great earthquake , and the tenth part of the city fell , and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand : and the remnant were affrighted , and gave glory to the God of heaven . * The second woe is past ; and , behold , the third woe cometh quickly . * And the seventh angel sounded ; and there were great voices in heaven , saying , The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord , and of his Christ ; and he shall reign for ever and ever . * And the four and twenty elders , which sat before God on their seats , fell upon their faces , and worshipped God , * Saying , We give thee thanks , O Lord God Almighty , which art , and wast , and art to come ; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power , and hast reigned . * And the nations were angry , and thy wrath is come , and the time of the dead , that they should be judged , and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets , and to the saints , and them that fear thy name , small and great ; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth . * And the temple of God was opened in heaven , and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament : and there were lightnings , and voices , and thunderings , and an earthquake , and great hail . * And there appeared a great wonder in heaven ; a woman clothed with the sun , and the moon under her feet , and upon her head a crown of twelve stars :
