Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SR-GNT Καὶ ἀπῆλθα πρὸς τὸν ἄγγελον, λέγων αὐτῷ δοῦναί μοι τὸ βιβλαρίδιον. Καὶ λέγει μοι, “Λάβε καὶ κατάφαγε αὐτό, καὶ πικρανεῖ σου τὴν κοιλίαν, ἀλλʼ ἐν τῷ στόματί σου, ἔσται γλυκὺ ὡς μέλι.” ‡

10.9 Et audivi. Quasi dicat: Ostensa destructione quæ erit tempore Antichristi, et inde etiam prædicatione subtracta, et ob hoc fidelibus consolatione adhibita, monetur quæ vidit interim prædicare, quasi dicatur aperte sibi: Ecce revelavi tibi omnia, modo vade et prædica, nec quia sunt aspera, devita: nec terrearis pro tribulatione aliqua, quia non tanta patieris quanta patientur qui perseverabunt tempore Antichristi. Hoc ad consolationem præsentis Ecclesiæ hic apponitur, ubi major tribulatio pronuntiatur. Vade. Quod bene sciebat, intelligere monetur, ut per admonitionem alii prædicaturi informentur. Stantis super mare. Hoc dicit, quia implere grave est humanitati, quæ est mollis et fragilis.

This to consoledonem beforesentis Assemblies/Churches this/here apponitur, where major/greater tribulatio pronuntiatur. Go. That well sciebat, intelligere advisesur, as through admonitionem others beforedicaturi informentur. Stantis over the_sea. This he_says, because implere grave it_is humanitati, which it_is mollis and fragilis.

10:8-10 As in Ezekiel’s experience, the scroll tasted sweet in the mouth (Ezek 3:1-3; see Jer 15:16; see also Pss 19:10; 119:103). The experiences yet to come for God’s people would be sweet, including the victory of God’s plan and the vindication of his people. John’s sour . . . stomach resembles the effects of Ezekiel’s hard message for Israel (Ezek 3:8-9). The process of bringing God’s plan to fruition involves hardship.
