Revelation 10:2-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

2. and he had a little scroll opened in his hand. He put his right foot on the sea, his left on the land,

3. and he cried out with a loud voice like a roaring lion. When he cried out, the seven thunders spoke with their voices.

4. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. Then I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders said, and do not write it down! ”

5. Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven.

6. He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will no longer be an interval of time,

7. but in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, when he will blow his trumpet, then God’s hidden plan will be completed, as He announced to His servants the prophets.”

8. Now the voice that I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”
