Revelation 10
- 1And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire.
- 2He had in his hand a little scroll open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
- 3And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. And when he had cried, seven thunders sounded.
- 4And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them.
- 5And the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
- 6And swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that there should be no more delay.
- 7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he begins to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he has declared to his servants the prophets.
- 8And the voice I heard from heaven spoke to me again, and said, Go and take the little scroll which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.
- 9And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little scroll. And he said to me, Take it, and eat it. It will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.
- 10And I took the little scroll out of the angel's hand, and ate it. It was in my mouth sweet as honey. And as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
- 11And he said to me, You must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
