1And when the seventh seal was opened, silence came to be in heaven for about half an hour.2And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.3And another angel came and stood upon the altar, having a golden censer, and much incense was given to him so that he might offer the prayers of all the holy ones upon the golden altar before the throne.4And the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the holy ones ascended from the hand of the angel before God.5And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and cast it to the earth, and thunder, voices, lightning, and an earthquake occurred.
