1. And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in the heaven about half-an-hour,
2. and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood, and there were given to them seven trumpets,
3. and 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,
4. and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God;
5. and 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.
