Revelation 10 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.

Then I saw another powerful angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head. His face was like the sun, and his legs were like pillars of fire.

He held a small scroll, open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land,

and he shouted with a voice like a lion roaring. When he shouted, the seven thunders spoke with their own voices.

When the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write it down, but I heard a voice from heaven say, "Seal up what the seven thunders said, and don't write it down."

Then the angel I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand toward heaven

and made a solemn oath by the one 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. He said, "There will be no more delay!"

In the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be completed — exactly as he announced to his servants the prophets.

Then the voice I had heard from heaven spoke to me again: "Go, take the scroll that's open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land."

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the small scroll. He said to me, "Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will taste as sweet as honey."

I took the small scroll from the angel's hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, my stomach turned sour.

Then they told me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings."
