Revelation 10:5-11 ▼

5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven,

6 and he swore by the One living to the ages of the ages, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no longer delay!

7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he may be about to sound the trumpet, then the mystery of God would be completed, as He proclaimed to His servants, the prophets.”

8 And the voice that I heard out of heaven is speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the little scroll having been opened in the hand of the angel standing upon the sea and upon the land.”

9 And I went to the angel, saying to him, “Give me the little scroll.” And he says to me, “Take and eat it up; and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”

10 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it up; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth; and when I ate it, my belly was made bitter.

11 And they say to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
