Revelation 8:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]Then the third Angel blew the trumpet, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell into the third part of the rivers, and into the fountains of waters.
11 And the name of the star is called [b]wormwood: therefore the third part of the waters became wormwood, and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
12 [c]And the fourth Angel blew the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened: and the day was smitten, that the third part of it could not shine, and likewise the night.
