1And I saw another strong angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow was on his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet were like pillars of fire,
2And he had in his hand a little scroll opened. And he set his right foot on the sea, but his left foot on the land,
3And he cried out with a loud voice like a lion roaring. And when he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their own voices.
4And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal what 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 he swore by the one living 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, that there will be no more time.
7But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God will be completed, as he announced to his servants the prophets.
8And the voice that I heard from heaven, speaking again with me and saying, Go, take the open book in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.
9And I went to the angel, saying to him, Give me the little scroll. And he said to me, Take it and eat it, 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, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth; but when I ate it, my stomach became bitter.
11And they say to me, You must again prophesy concerning peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.
