⁸ The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like ^(A)a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea ^(B)became blood. ⁹ A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of ^(C)the ships were destroyed.

¹⁰ The third angel blew his trumpet, and ^(D)a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on ^(E)the springs of water. ¹¹ The name of the star is Wormwood.^[a] A third of the waters ^(F)became wormwood, and many people died from the water, ^(G)because it had been made bitter.

¹² The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of ^(H)the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

¹⁵ So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released ^(A)to kill a third of mankind.

¹⁸ By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.

⁴ His tail swept down ^(A)a third of the stars of heaven and ^(B)cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child ^(C)he might devour it.
