The voice which I heard from heaven, again speaking with me, said, “Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.”
I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book.
He said to me, “Take it and eat it.
It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”
I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it.
It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.
