Revelation 10:3-11

3and he cried out with a loud voice, 1as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the 2seven peals of thunder 3uttered their voices. 4When the seven peals of thunder had spoken, 4I was about to write; and I 5heard a voice from heaven saying, “6Seal up the things which the seven peals of thunder have spoken and do not write them.” 5Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land 7lifted up his right hand to heaven, 68and swore by 9Him who lives forever and ever, 10who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, that 11there will be delay no longer, 7but in the days of the voice of the 12seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then 13the mystery of God is finished, as He 14preached to His servants the prophets.

8Then 15the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and saying, “Go, take 16the 17book which is open in the hand of the angel who 18stands on the sea and on the land.” 9So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, “19Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.” 10I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and in my mouth it was sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter. 11And 20they said to me, “You must 21prophesy again concerning 22many peoples and nations and tongues and 23kings.”
