Revelation 8:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² I saw the seven angels who stand in front of God. Seven trumpets were given to them.

³ Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a shallow gold cup for burning incense. He was given a lot of incense to offer on the golden altar. The altar was in front of the throne. With the incense he offered the prayers of all God’s people. ⁴ The smoke of the incense rose up from the angel’s hand. The prayers of God’s people rose up together with it. The smoke and the prayers went up in front of God.
