10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,
clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and
his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of
fire:
10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
right foot upon the sea, and [his] left [foot] on the earth,
10:3 And cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and
when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
10:4 And 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 those things which the seven thunders uttered, and
write them not.
10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the
earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
10:6 And swore by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created
heaven, and the things that are in it, and the earth, and the
things that are in it, and the sea, and the things which are in
it, that there should be time no longer:
10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as
he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again,
and said, Go, [and] take the little book which is open in the
hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth.
10:9 And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the
little book. And he said to me, Take [it], and eat it, and it
shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet
as honey.
10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and
ate it; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I
had eaten it my belly was bitter.
10:11 And he said to me, Thou must prophesy again before many
peoples, and nations, and languages, and kings.
