[1]And when he opened the seventh, all were silent in the heavens for a while. [2]I saw seven messengers coming before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and they were given seven shofars. [3]Another messenger came walking near to the holy place and in his hand was a censer of gold. He was given much incense, to deliver prayers for the holy ones before the holy place and before the throne. [4]The smoke from the incense of the holy ones went up from the hand of the messenger before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. [5]The messenger took the censer and filled it with fire and poured it out upon the earth and then came the sounds of thunders and lightnings! [6]Then the seven messengers with the seven shofars prepared to blow. [7]The first messenger blew and there was hail and fire mixed with blood. Then it fell upon the earth and a third of the trees burned, and all the greenery of the field burned. [8]The second blew, and something like a great mountain, burned with fire, then went into the sea, and a third of the sea was blood. [9]And a third of the creatures of the sea were put to death, and a third of the ships were sunk. [10]Then the third blew, and a star burned and fell from the heavens upon a third of the springs of water, [11]and the name of the star was Scarlet. A third of the waters became bitter. And because of its bitterness, many of the children of man died. [12]The fourth blew, and a third part of the sun, moon, and the stars eclipsed, and a third of the day did not shine, nor the night. [13]Then I saw and heard a messenger hovering in the heavens, and he shouted with a great voice, "Woe! Woe! Woe to those dwelling upon the earth, because the voice of the shofars—which are required—are yet to be blown from the three messengers!"
