* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.
Then the fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun and moon and stars were struck. A third of the stars were darkened, a third of the day was without light, and a third of the night as well.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The fourth angel sounded, and one third of the sun was struck, and one third of the moon, and one third of the stars; so that one third of them would be darkened, and the day wouldn’t shine for one third of it, and the night in the same way.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} the fourth{G5067} angel{G32} sounded{G4537}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} the third part{G5154} of the sun{G2246} was smitten{G4141}{(G5648)}, and{G2532} the third part{G5154} of the moon{G4582}, and{G2532} the third part{G5154} of the stars{G792}; so as{G2443} the third part{G5154} of them{G846} was darkened{G4654}{(G5686)}, and{G2532} the day{G2250} shone{G5316}{(G5725)} not{G3361} for a third part{G5154} of it{G846}, and{G2532} the night{G3571} likewise{G3668}.
Strong's King James
(12) The fourth angel blew and a third of the sun, third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck! In order that a third of them should be darkened and the day wouldn't shine for a third of it and the night likewise.
The F.O.G*
[12] When the fourth angel sounded, cosmic powers shuddered. One-third of the sun's light dimmed, one-third of the moon's glow faded, and one-third of the stars went dark. Day and night were disrupted as creation itself testified to its Creator's power and humanity's need for repentance.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the day may not shine—the third of it, and the night in like manner.
