1And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,
2and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar, having a golden censer, and there was given to him much perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne,
4and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;
5and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
6And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets did prepare themselves that they may sound;
7and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up.
