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

我又举目观看，见有一飞行的书卷。

我又举目观看，看哪，有一飞行的书卷。

我又举目观看，见有书卷在飞。

我又舉目觀看，見有一卷書飛行着。

我又舉目觀看，看哪，有一個飛行的書卷！

我復舉目、見一飛卷、

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.

Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll!

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.

“ What do you see?” the angel asked.“ I see a flying scroll,” I replied.“ It appears to be about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide.”

Then the Lord said to me,“ Make a large signboard and clearly write this name on it: Maher shalal hash baz.”

Then the voice from heaven spoke to me again:“ Go and take the open scroll from 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 small scroll.“ Yes, take it and eat it,” he said.“ It will be sweet as honey in your mouth, but it will turn sour in your stomach!”So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth, but when I swallowed it, it turned sour in my stomach.Then I was told,“ You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.”

Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one who was sitting on the throne. There was writing on the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with seven seals.And I saw a strong angel, who shouted with a loud voice:“ Who is worthy to break the seals on this scroll and open it?”But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll and read it.Then I began to weep bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll and read it.But one of the twenty four elders said to me,“ Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.”Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the throne and the four living beings and among the twenty four elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.He stepped forward and took the scroll from the right hand of the one sitting on the throne.And when he took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.And they sang a new song with these words:“ You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.”Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders.And they sang in a mighty chorus:“ Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:“ Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”And the four living beings said,“ Amen!” And the twenty four elders fell down and worshiped the Lamb.

Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll,which he unrolled. And I saw that both sides were covered with funeral songs, words of sorrow, and pronouncements of doom.

During the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king in Judah, the Lord gave this message to Jeremiah:“ Get a scroll, and write down all my messages against Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Begin with the first message back in the days of Josiah, and write down every message, right up to the present time.Perhaps the people of Judah will repent when they hear again all the terrible things I have planned for them. Then I will be able to forgive their sins and wrongdoings.”So Jeremiah sent for Baruch son of Neriah, and as Jeremiah dictated all the prophecies that the Lord had given him, Baruch wrote them on a scroll.Then Jeremiah said to Baruch,“ I am a prisoner here and unable to go to the Temple.So you go to the Temple on the next day of fasting, and read the messages from the Lord that I have had you write on this scroll. Read them so the people who are there from all over Judah will hear them.

Then the officials left the scroll for safekeeping in the room of Elishama the secretary and went to tell the king what had happened.The king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king as all his officials stood by.It was late autumn, and the king was in a winterized part of the palace, sitting in front of a fire to keep warm.Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king took a knife and cut off that section of the scroll. He then threw it into the fire, section by section, until the whole scroll was burned up.Neither the king nor his attendants showed any signs of fear or repentance at what they heard.

And in his hand was a small scroll that had been opened. He stood with his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land.

After the king had burned the scroll on which Baruch had written Jeremiah’s words, the Lord gave Jeremiah another message. He said,“ Get another scroll, and write everything again just as you did on the scroll King Jehoiakim burned.Then say to the king,‘ This is what the Lord says: You burned the scroll because it said the king of Babylon would destroy this land and empty it of people and animals.Now this is what the Lord says about King Jehoiakim of Judah: He will have no heirs to sit on the throne of David. His dead body will be thrown out to lie unburied— exposed to the heat of the day and the frost of the night.I will punish him and his family and his attendants for their sins. I will pour out on them and on all the people of Jerusalem and Judah all the disasters I promised, for they would not listen to my warnings.’”So Jeremiah took another scroll and dictated again to his secretary, Baruch. He wrote everything that had been on the scroll King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. Only this time he added much more!
