And when he shouted, the shivat hare'amim (seven thunders) reverberated.4And when the shivat hare'amim (seven thunders) spoke, I was about to write, and I heard a kol (voice) from Shomayim, saying, Put a chotam (seal) on [the sod, the secret of] what the shivat hare'amim (seven thunders) have spoken, and seal it up, and do not write,5And the malach, whom I saw having taken his stand on the yam (sea) and on ha'aretz (the earth) , lifted his yamin (right hand) to Shomayim,6And made shevu'ah (oath) by the One who lives l'Olelamei Olamim (forever and ever) whose “barah” (created) the Shomayim and the things in it and ha'aretz and the things in it and the yam and the things in it — that there would be no od zman (more time) .7But in the days of the sounding of the shofar by the malach hashevi'i (the seventh angel) , when he is about to blow the shofar, also then the raz (mystery) of Hashem would be brought to an end, as he proclaimed to his avadim (servants) , the Nevi'im (prophets) .8And the kol (voice) which I heard from Shomayim was again speaking with me and saying, Go, take the sefer which is opened in the hand of the malach who has taken his stand on the yam (sea) and on the ha'aretz (the earth) .9And I went to the malach, telling him to give me the sefer katan (small book) and he says to me, Take and eat it, and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as devash (honey) .10And I took the sefer katan out of the hand of the malach and ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as devash (honey) , but, when I ate, my stomach was made bitter.11And they say to me, You must speak devarim hanevu'ah (words of prophecy) again, about haumim (peoples) and Goyim (Nations) and leshonot (tongues) and many melachim (kings) .Hisgalus 9Hisgalus 11
