Revelation 10
10
1And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,
2and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,
3and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices;
4and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, ‘Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,’ and, ‘Thou mayest not write these things.’
5And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,
6and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages, who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it — that time shall not be yet,
7but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the prophets.
8And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, ‘Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:’
9and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, ‘Give me the little scroll;’ and he saith to me, ‘Take, 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 scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey — sweet, and when I did eat it — my belly was made bitter;
11and he saith to me, ‘It behoveth thee again to prophesy about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings — many.’

The Angel and the Little Scroll
1 And I saw another powerful angel descending from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, and a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire,#Or “like fiery pillars” 2and holding in his hand a little scroll that was opened. And he put his right foot on the sea and his#*Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun left on the land. 3And he cried out with a loud voice like a lion roars, and when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded#Or “spoke” their own voices. 4And when the seven thunders spoke,#Or “sounded” I was about to write, and I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them!”
5And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6and swore by the one who lives forever and ever#Literally “for the ages of the ages”, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no more delay! 7But in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, whenever he is about to blow the trumpet, then#Literally “and” the mystery of God is completed, as he announced to his own slaves the prophets.”
8And the voice that I had heard from heaven was speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the opened scroll in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9And I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll, and he said to me, “Take and eat it up, and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it up, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11And they said to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”
