Revelation 8:11 in Context — Revelation 8

9 et le tiers des créatures qui étaient dans la mer et qui avaient vie mourut, et le tiers des navires périt.

10 Le troisième ange sonna de la trompette. Et il tomba du ciel une grande étoile ardente comme un flambeau; et elle tomba sur le tiers des fleuves et sur les sources des eaux.

11 Le nom de cette étoile est Absinthe; et le tiers des eaux fut changé en absinthe, et beaucoup d’hommes moururent par les eaux, parce qu’elles étaient devenues amères.

12 Le quatrième ange sonna de la trompette. Et le tiers du soleil fut frappé, et le tiers de la lune, et le tiers des étoiles, afin que le tiers en fût obscurci, et que le jour perdît un tiers de sa clarté, et la nuit de même.

13 Je regardai, et j’entendis un aigle qui volait au milieu du ciel, disant d’une voix forte: Malheur, malheur, malheur aux habitants de la terre, à cause des autres sons de la trompette des trois anges qui vont sonner!
