Revelation 10
10
1 THEN I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, robed in a cloud, with a [halo like a] rainbow over his head; his face was like the sun, and his feet (legs) were like columns of fire.
2 He had a little book (scroll) open in his hand. He set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,
3 And he shouted with a loud voice like the roaring of a lion; and when he had shouted, the seven thunders gave voice and uttered their message in distinct words.
4 And when the seven thunders had spoken (sounded), I was going to write [it down], but I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up what the seven thunders have said! Do not write it down!
5 Then the [mighty] angel whom I had seen stationed on sea and land raised his right hand to heaven (the sky), [Deut. 32:40; Dan. 12:6, 7.]
6 And swore in the name of (by) Him Who lives forever and ever, Who created the heavens (sky) and all they contain, and the earth and all that it contains, and the sea and all that it contains. [He swore] that no more time should intervene and there should be no more waiting or delay,
7 But that when the days come when the trumpet call of the seventh angel is about to be sounded, then God's mystery (His secret design, His hidden purpose), as He had announced the glad tidings to His servants the prophets, should be fulfilled (accomplished, completed). [Dan. 12:6, 7.]
8 Then the voice that I heard from heaven spoke again to me, saying, Go and take the little book (scroll) which is open on the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.
9 So I went up to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said to me, Take it and eat it. It will embitter your stomach, though in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. [Ezek. 2:8, 9; 3:1-3.]
10 So I took the little book from the angel's hand and ate and swallowed it; it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but once I had swallowed it, my stomach was embittered.
11 Then they said to me, You are to make a fresh prophecy concerning many peoples and races and nations and languages and kings. [Jer. 1:10.]

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.”
