Ḥazon (Revelation) 8
8
1And when He opened the seventh seal, there came to be silence in the heaven for about half an hour.
2And I saw the seven messengers who stand before Elohim, and to them were given seven trumpets.
3And another messenger came and stood at the slaughter-place, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the set-apart ones upon the golden slaughter-place which was before the throne.
4And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the set-apart ones, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger.
5And the messenger took the censer, and filled it with fire from the slaughter-place, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven messengers who held the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
7And the first messenger sounded, and there came to be hail and fire mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8And the second messenger sounded, and what looked like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood,
9and a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third messenger sounded, and a great star fell from the heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the fountains of water,
11and the 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.
12And the fourth messenger sounded, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. And a third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.#Compare with Exo. 10:21; Isa. 50:3; Jer. 4:23-29; Zech. 13:8; Joel 2:10; Joel 2:31; Joel 3:15
13And I looked, and I heard an eagle flying in mid-heaven, crying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those dwelling upon the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound!”

Revelation 8
8
The Opening of the Seventh Seal
1 And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3And another angel who had a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and a large amount of incense was given to him, in order that he could offer the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar that is before the throne. 4And the smoke of the incense went up before God with the prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel. 5And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire from the altar and threw it to the earth, and there were thunders and sounds and lightnings and an earthquake.
The Blowing of the Trumpets
6And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves in order to blow them.
7And the first blew the trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was 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.
8And the second angel blew the trumpet, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood, 9and a third of the creatures in the sea—the ones which had life—died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10And the third angel blew the trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11And the name of the star was called Wormwood, and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the waters because they were made bitter.
12And the fourth angel blew the trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened, and the day did not shine with respect to a third of it, and the night likewise.
13And I looked, and I heard one eagle flying directly overhead#Literally “in midheaven,” i.e., “at the zenith”, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to those who live on the earth, from the remaining sounds of the trumpets of the three angels who are about to blow the trumpet!”
