Revelation 10

The Angel and the Little Book

1I sawG3708 anotherG243 1strongG2478 angelG32 2comingG2597 downG2597 out of heavenG3772, clothedG4016 with a cloudG3507; and the 3rainbowG2463 was upon his headG2776, and 4his faceG4383 was likeG5613 the sunG2246, and his 5feetG4228 likeG5613 pillarsG4769 of fireG4442; 2and he hadG2192 in his handG5495 a 6littleG974 bookG974 which was openG455. He placedG5087 7his rightG1188 footG4228 on the seaG2281 and his leftG2176 on the landG1093; 3and he criedG2896 out with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, 8as when a lionG3023 roarsG3455; and whenG3753 he had criedG2896 out, the 9sevenG2033 pealsG1027 of thunderG1027 10utteredG2980 their voicesG5456. 4WhenG3753 the sevenG2033 pealsG1027 of thunderG1027 had spokenG2980, 11I was aboutG3195 to writeG1125; and I 12heardG191 a voiceG5456 from heavenG3772 sayingG3004, “13SealG4972 up the things whichG3739 the sevenG2033 pealsG1027 of thunderG1027 have spokenG2980 and do not writeG1125 them.” 5ThenG2532 the angelG32 whomG3739 I sawG3708 standingG2476 on the seaG2281 and on the landG1093 14liftedG142 up his rightG1188 handG5495 to heavenG3772, 615and sworeG3660 by 16Him who livesG2198 foreverG165 and everG165, 17whoG3739 createdG2936 heavenG3772 and the things in it, and the earthG1093 and the things in it, and the seaG2281 and the things in it, that 18there will be delayG5550 noG3765 longerG3765, 7but in the daysG2250 of the voiceG5456 of the 19seventhG1442 angelG32, whenG3752 he is aboutG3195 to soundG4537, thenG2532 20the mysteryG3466 of GodG2316 is finishedG5055, as He 21preachedG2097 to His servantsG1401 the prophetsG4396.

8ThenG2532 22the voiceG5456 whichG3739 I heardG191 from heavenG3772, I heard againG3825 speakingG2980 with me, and sayingG3004, “GoG5217, takeG2983 23the 24bookG975 which is openG455 in the handG5495 of the angelG32 who 25standsG2476 on the seaG2281 and on the landG1093.” 9SoG2532 I wentG565 to the angelG32, tellingG3004 him to giveG1325 me the littleG974 bookG974. And he saidG3004 to me, “26TakeG2983 it and eatG2719 it; it will makeG4087 your stomachG2836 bitterG4087, but in your mouthG4750 it will be sweetG1099 as honeyG3192.” 10I tookG2983 the littleG974 bookG974 out of the angel’sG32 handG5495 and ateG2719 it, and in my mouthG4750 it was sweetG1099 as honeyG3192; and whenG3753 I had eatenG2068 it, my stomachG2836 was madeG4087 bitterG4087. 11And 27they saidG3004 to me, “You mustG1163 28prophesyG4395 againG3825 concerningG1909 29manyG4183 peoplesG2992 and nationsG1484 and tonguesG1100 and 30kingsG935.”
