1And I sawanothermightyangel come downfromheaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was uponhishead, andhisface was as it were the sun, andhisfeetaspillars of fire:
2And he hadinhishand a little bookopen: and he sethisrightfootupon the sea, andhisleftfooton the earth,
3Andcried with a loudvoice, aswhen a lionroareth: andwhen he had cried, seventhundersutteredtheirvoices.
4Andwhen the seventhunders had utteredtheirvoices, I was about to write: and I heard a voicefromheavensaying unto me, Seal up those things which the seventhundersuttered, andwritethemnot.
5And the angelwhich I sawstandupon the seaandupon the earth lifted uphishandtoheaven,
6Andswareby him thatlivethforeverandever, whocreatedheaven, and the things thatthereinare, and the earth, and the things thatthereinare, and the sea, and the things which aretherein, that there should betimenolonger:
7Butin the days of the voice of the seventhangel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to hisservants the prophets.
8And the voicewhich I heardfromheavenspakeuntomeagain, andsaid, Goandtake the little bookwhich is openin the hand of the angelwhichstandethupon the seaandupon the earth.
9And I wentunto the angel, andsaiduntohim, Giveme the little book. And he saiduntome, Takeit, andeatitup; andit shall makethybellybitter, butit shall beinthymouthsweetashoney.
10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, andateitup; anditwasinmymouthsweetashoney: andas soon as I had eatenit, mybellywasbitter.
11And he said unto me, Thoumustprophesyagainbeforemanypeoples, andnations, andtongues, andkings.
