And I sawanothermightyangel come downfromheaven,clothed with a cloud:and a rainbow was uponhishead,andhisface was as it were the sun,andhisfeetaspillars of fire:
2
And he hadinhishand a little bookopen: and he sethisrightfootupon the sea,and his left foot on the earth,
3
Andcried with a loudvoice,as when a lionroareth: andwhen he had cried, seventhundersutteredtheirvoices.
4
Andwhen the seventhunders had utteredtheirvoices, I was about to write: and I heard a voicefromheavensaying unto me, Seal up those things which the seventhundersuttered, andwritethemnot.
5
And the angelwhich I sawstandupon the seaandupon the earth lifted uphishandtoheaven,
6
Andswareby him that livethforever and ever,whocreatedheaven,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 betimenolonger:
7
Butin 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.
8
And the voicewhich I heardfromheavenspakeuntomeagain,andsaid, Go and take the little bookwhich is openin the hand of the angelwhichstandethupon the seaandupon the earth.
9
And I wentunto the angel, and said unto him,Giveme the little book.And he said unto me,Take it, andeatitup; and it shall makethybellybitter, but it shall beinthymouthsweetashoney.
10
And I took the little book out of the angel'shand,andateitup; and it wasinmymouthsweetashoney:and as soon as I had eatenit,mybelly was bitter.

And he said unto me,Thoumustprophesyagainbeforemanypeoples,andnations,andtongues,andkings.
