2
and he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot on the sea, and the left on the earth,
3
and cried with a loud voice, as a lion roareth: and when he cried, the seven thunders uttered their own voices.

6
and sware by him that liveth unto the ages of the ages, who created the heaven and the things therein, and the earth and the things therein, and the sea and the things therein, that there should be no more space,
7
but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he announced the glad tidings to his servants the prophets.
8
