And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.

2

And I saw the seven angels which stood before God and to them were given seven trumpets.

3

And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

4

And the smoke of the incense, [which came] with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

5

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast [it] into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
