After this I saw Four Angels standing at the Four Corners of the earth, holding back the Four Winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.<sup class="versenum"> </sup>And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, <sup class="versenum"> </sup>saying, 'Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads.'
