Revelation 8:6-12

New Catholic Bible

⁶ The seven angels who held the seven trumpets now made ready to blow them.

The First Four Trumpets.^{[a] 7} When the first angel blew his trumpet, there was a storm of hail and fire, mixed with blood, and it fell upon the earth.^[b] A third of the earth was burned up, as well as a third of the trees and all the green grass.

^8 [c]When the second angel blew his trumpet, something that looked like a huge mountain ablaze with fire was hurled into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, ⁹ a third of the creatures living in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ When the third angel blew his trumpet, a great star fell from the sky, burning like a torch. It came down on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. ¹¹ This star was called “Wormwood,” and a third of the waters turned to wormwood.^[d] Great numbers of people died from the waters that had become bitter.

¹² When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars. As a result, a third of their light was darkened, and the day lost its illumination for a third of the time, and so did the night.^[e]
