| 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 : |
| 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 , |
| 3 | And cried with a loud voice , as [when] a lion roareth : and when he had cried , seven thunders uttered their voices . |
| 4 | And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices , I was about to write : and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me , Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered , and write them not . |
| 5 | And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven , |
| 6 | And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever , who created heaven , and the things that therein are , and the earth , and the things that therein are , and the sea , and the things which are therein , that there should be time no longer : |
| 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 . |
| 8 | And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto 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 . |
| 9 | And I went unto the angel , and said unto him , Give me the little book . And he said unto me , Take [it], and eat it up ; and it shall make thy belly bitter , but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey . |
| 10 | And I took the little book out of the angel's hand , and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey : and as soon as I had eaten it , my belly was bitter . |
| 11 | And he said unto me , Thou must prophesy again before many peoples , and nations , and tongues , and kings . |
