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.”

Apocalypse 10
10
1And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow was on 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 foot upon the earth.
3And he cried with a loud voice as when a lion roareth. And when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying to me: Seal up the things which the seven thunders have spoken; and write them not.
5And the angel, whom I saw standing upon the sea and upon the earth, lifted up his hand to heaven,
6And he swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things which are therein; and the earth, and the things which are in it; and the sea, and the things which are therein: That time shall be no longer.
7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound the trumpet, the mystery of God shall be finished, as he hath declared by his servants the prophets.
8And I heard a voice from heaven again speaking to me, and saying: Go, and take the book that is open, from the hand of the angel who standeth upon the sea, and upon the earth.
9And I went to the angel, saying unto him, that he should give me the book. And he said to me: Take the book, 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 book from the hand of the angel, and ate it up: and it was in my mouth, sweet as honey: and when I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11And he said to me: Thou must prophesy again to many nations, and peoples, and tongues, and kings.
