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.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 8 of Revelation. The opening of the seventh seal produces silence in heaven for about half an hour. Seven angels receive seven trumpets, and another angel offers incense together with the prayers of the saints on the altar before the throne. The silence introduces solemnity before a new series of judgments. The incense connects the prayers of believers with divine action in history: the petitions of the saints are not irrelevant, but symbolically presented before God before judgment is unleashed.

Und der Engel nahm das Räuchfaß und füllte es mit Feuer vom Altar und schüttete es auf die Erde. Und da geschahen Stimmen und Donner und Blitze und Erdbeben.
Y el ángel tomó el incensario, y lo llenó del fuego del altar, y echolo en la tierra; y fueron hechos truenos y voces y relámpagos y terremotos.
El ángel tomó el incensario, lo llenó con fuego del altar y lo arrojó a la tierra. Hubo truenos, voces, relámpagos y un terremoto.
Et l'ange prit l'encensoir, le remplit du feu de l'autel, et le jeta sur la terre. Et il y eut des voix, des tonnerres, des éclairs, et un tremblement de terre.
Poi l’angelo prese il turibolo, e l’empiè del fuoco dell’altare, e lo gettò nella terra; e si fecero suoni, e tuoni, e folgori, e tremoto.
E o anjo tomou o incensário, e o encheu do fogo do altar, e o lançou sobre a terra; e houve depois vozes, e trovões, e relâmpagos e terremotos.
天使拿著香爐,盛滿了壇上的火,倒在地上;就有雷轟、響聲、閃電、地震。
