4. The smoke of the incense together with the prayers of God's people rose up from the angel's hand. It went up in front of God.
5. Then the angel took the cup and filled it with fire from the altar. He threw it down on the earth. There were rumblings and thunder, flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
6. Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets got ready to blow them.
7. The first angel blew his trumpet. Hail and fire mixed with blood were thrown down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up. A third of the trees were burned up. All the green grass was burned up.
