² and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land,

⁵ And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven,

⁹ And I look, and lo, a hand `is' sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,

¹⁰ and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it `are' lamentations, and mourning, and wo!

⁸ And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing upon the sea, and upon the land:'

⁹ and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, `Give me the little scroll;' and he saith to me, `Take, and eat it up, and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall be sweet -- as honey.'

¹⁰ And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey -- sweet, and when I did eat it -- my belly was made bitter;

³ And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, `Come and behold!'

¹ And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of thunder, `Come and behold!'

¹ And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals;

² and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?'

³ and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it.

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

²⁰ which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of the dead, and did set `him' at His right hand in the heavenly `places',

²¹ far above all principality, and authority, and might, and lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also in the coming one;

²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him -- head over all things to the assembly,

¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth;

¹⁹ And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from the rising of the sun -- His honour, When come in as a flood doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign against him.

¹⁵ By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness,

¹⁶ By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth.

⁵ By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth and sea.

⁸ Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
