Revelation 10

¹Then I saw another strong angel descending from heaven, dressed in a cloud. There was a rainbow over his head, his face was shining like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire. ²And he had a little book opened in his hand, and he put his right foot on the sea, and the left one on the land. ³And he shouted with a loud voice, such as when a lion roars, and when he shouted, the seven thunders spoke with their sounds. ⁴And when the seven thunders spoke, I began to write, but I heard a voice from heaven that said, "Seal up the things that the seven thunders spoke, and don't write them down." ⁵And the angel whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land,
Raised his right hand to heaven,
⁶And swore by the one who lives forever and ever,
who created the 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, who is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God will also be completed, the good news he presented to his servants the prophets.

⁸And the voice I heard from heaven spoke to me again and told me, "Go, take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the earth." ⁹And I went to the angel and told him to give me the little book, and he said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will be bitter in your belly, but seet as honey in your mouth." ¹⁰And I took the little book from the hand of the angel and I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I ate it, my belly became bitter. ¹¹And they said to me, "You must again prophesy to people and nations and languages, and many kings.
