Revelation 10
10
1And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, arrayed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire; 2and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left upon the earth; 3and he cried with a great voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices. 4And when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. 5And the angel which I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6and sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created the heaven and the things that are therein, and the earth and the things that are therein, and the sea and the things that are therein, that there shall be time no longer: 7but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then is finished the mystery of God, according to the good tidings which he declared to his servants the prophets.
8And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard it again speaking with me, and saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel that standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9And I went unto the angel, saying unto him that he should give me the little book. And he saith unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet as honey. 10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was made bitter. 11And they say unto me, Thou must prophesy again over many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

Ḥazon (Revelation) 10
10
1And I saw another strong messenger coming down from the heaven, robed in a cloud, and a rainbow on his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like columns of fire,
2and having in his hand a little book opened. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. And when he cried out, seven thunders spoke their sounds.
4And when the seven thunders spoke their sounds, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from the heaven saying to me, “Seal up what the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them.”
5And the messenger whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the heaven,#Gen. 14:22; Deu. 32:40
6and swore by Him who lives forever and ever,#Dan. 12:7 who created the heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it,#Neh. 9:6#See also Exo. 20:11; Psa. 146:6; Rev. 4:11 that there shall be no further delay,
7but in the days of the sounding of the seventh messenger, when he is about to sound, the secret of Elohim shall also be ended, as He declared to His servants the prophets.
8And the voice which I heard out of the heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the little book which is opened in the hand of the messenger standing on the sea and on the earth.”
9And I went to the messenger and said to him, “Give me the little book.” And he said to me, “Take and eat it,#See Eze. 2-3. This is a Hebraism which means to receive knowledge. and it shall make your stomach bitter, but it shall be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
10And I took the little book out of the messenger’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth,#Ezek. 3:3 but when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
11And he said to me, “You have to prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and sovereigns.”
