Revelation 8:11-13
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 The star was called “Wormwood,”[a] and a third of all the water turned to wormwood. Many people died from this water, because it was made bitter.(A)
12 When the fourth angel blew his trumpet, a third of the sun, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them became dark. The day lost its light for a third of the time, as did the night.(B)
13 Then I looked again and heard an eagle flying high overhead cry out in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe[b] to the inhabitants of the earth from the rest of the trumpet blasts that the three angels are about to blow!”
