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 you mouth.'
[Revelation 10:9]

********************
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."
[Revelation 10:10-11]
