Revelation 10:9-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
9 And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little-scroll. And he says to me, “Take, and eat[a] it up. And it will make your stomach bitter. But in your mouth it will be sweet like honey”. 10 And I took the little-scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it up. And it was like sweet honey in my mouth. And when I ate it, my stomach was made-bitter. 11 And they[b] say to me, “You must prophesy again for[c] many peoples and nations and tongues and kings”.

9 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, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’[a]”(A) 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth,(B) but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy(C) again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”(D)
