(Ezekiel 3:1–15)
1
Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.
2
He held in his hand a small scroll, which lay open. He placed his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.
3
Then he cried out in a loud voice like the roar of a lion. And when he cried out, the seven thunders sounded their voices.
4
When the seven thunders had spoken, I was about to put it in writing. But I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.”
5
Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven.
6
And he swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and everything in it, the earth and everything in it, and the sea and everything in it: “There will be no more delay!
7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be fulfilled, just as He proclaimed to His servants the prophets.”
8
Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the small scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel standing on the sea and on the land.”
9
And I went to the angel and said, “Give me the small scroll.”Take it and eat it,” he said. “It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”(a)
10
So I took the small scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it; and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned bitter.
11
And they told me, “You must prophesy again about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”

1
I saw a mighty angel coming down out of the sky, clothed with a cloud. A rainbow was on his head. His face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.
2
He had in his hand a little open book. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land.
3
He cried with a loud voice, as a lion roars. When he cried, the seven thunders uttered their voices.
4
When the seven thunders sounded, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from the sky saying, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders said, and don’t write them.”

The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”

I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
