"And the voice that I heard out of heaven
is speaking again with me and saying: "Go, take the opened scroll that is in the hand of the angel who is standing on
the sea and on the earth." And I went away to the angel and told him to give me
the little scroll. And he said to me: "Take it and eat it up, and it will
make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey." And I took
the little scroll out of the hand of the angel and ate it up, and in my mouth it was sweet as
honey; but when I had eaten it up, my belly was made bitter. And they say to me:
"You must prophesy again with regard to peoples and nations and tongues and many kings."" (New World Translation).
"Then the voice I had heard from heaven again talked to me, saying, "Go and take
the small scroll which lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on
the earth." So I went to the angel, saying, "Give me the small scroll." "Take
it," said he, "and swallow it; it will taste sweet as honey, but it will be
bitter to digest." I took the small scroll from the hand of the
angel and swallowed it; it did taste sweet, like honey, but when I had eaten,
it was bitter to digest. Then I was told,
"You must prophesy again
of many peoples and nations and languages and kings.""

"Then the voice which I heard from heaven was speaking to me again, and it
said, 'Go and take the open scroll in
the hand of the angel that stands on the sea and the land.' So I went to the
angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, 'Take it,
and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, although in your mouth it will
taste sweet as honey.' So I took the
little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it, and in my mouth
it did taste sweet as honey; but when I swallowed it my stomach turned sour.
Then they said to me, 'Once again you must utter
prophecies over peoples and nations and languages and many
kings.'" (New English Bible).
"Then the voice which I had heard from
heaven spoke to me again, saying, "Go, take the scroll which is open
in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land." So I went
to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll; and he said to me, "Take
it and eat; it will be bitter to your stomach, but sweet as honey in your
mouth." And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it;
it was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made
bitter. And I was told, "You
must
again prophesy
about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.""
