Revelation 10:2

⁹When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. ¹⁰He spread it before me. It was written within and without; and lamentations, mourning, and woe were written in it.

⁵The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky

¹I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. ²I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?” ³No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book or to look in it. ⁴Then I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look in it. ⁵One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome: he who opens the book and its seven seals.”

⁸The 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.”

⁹I 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.”

¹⁰I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

³When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”

⁵By awesome deeds of righteousness, you answer us, God of our salvation. You who are the hope of all the ends of the earth, of those who are far away on the sea.

¹⁸Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

⁸Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

¹⁵By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. ¹⁶By me princes rule, nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth.

^1[+] I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”
