我復仰觀、見卷軸一舒、有若翻飛、

我復舉目而觀、見有一卷如飛、

I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

I looked up again and saw a scroll flying through the air.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Then I raised my eyes again and looked, and behold, there was a flying scroll.

Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll.

Then again I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, a flying roll.

I looked up again and saw a flying scroll.

Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.

Then I turned to look, and there was a flying scroll!

Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.

And he said to me,“ What do you see?” I answered,“ I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”

Then the Lord said to me,“ Take a large tablet and write on it in common characters,‘ Belonging to Maher-shalal-hash-baz.’

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying,“ Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me,“ Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.And I was told,“ You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and languages and kings.”

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals.And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice,“ Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it,and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.And one of the elders said to me,“ Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.And he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne.And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.And they sang a new song, saying,“ Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,saying with a loud voice,“ Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying,“ To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”And the four living creatures said,“ Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshiped.

And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

In the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord:“ Take a scroll and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel and Judah and all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah until today.It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I intend to do to them, so that every one may turn from his evil way, and that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote on a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord that he had spoken to him.And Jeremiah ordered Baruch, saying,“ I am banned from going to the house of the Lord,so you are to go, and on a day of fasting in the hearing of all the people in the Lord’s house you shall read the words of the Lord from the scroll that you have written at my dictation. You shall read them also in the hearing of all the men of Judah who come out of their cities.

So they went into the court to the king, having put the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the secretary, and they reported all the words to the king.Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the secretary. And Jehudi read it to the king and all the officials who stood beside the king.It was the ninth month, and the king was sitting in the winter house, and there was a fire burning in the fire pot before him.As Jehudi read three or four columns, the king would cut them off with a knife and throw them into the fire in the fire pot, until the entire scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the fire pot.Yet neither the king nor any of his servants who heard all these words was afraid, nor did they tear their garments.

He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land,

Now after the king had burned the scroll with the words that Baruch wrote at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah:“ Take another scroll and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say,‘ Thus says the Lord, You have burned this scroll, saying,“ Why have you written in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and destroy this land, and will cut off from it man and beast?”Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He shall have none to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day and the frost by night.And I will punish him and his offspring and his servants for their iniquity. I will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and upon the people of Judah all the disaster that I have pronounced against them, but they would not hear.’”Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it at the dictation of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire. And many similar words were added to them.
