Revelation 10:10

10:10 So ¹  I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it, and it did taste ²  as sweet as honey in my mouth, but ³  when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Revelation 16:12

16:12 Then ⁴  the sixth angel ⁵  poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water ⁶  to prepare the way ⁷  for the kings from the east. ⁸ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the angel.

² tn Grk “it was.” The idea of taste is implied.

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

⁵ tn Grk “the sixth”; the referent (the sixth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “and its water was dried up.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

⁷ tn Grk “in order that the way might be prepared.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

⁸ tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίου…from the east Rv 7:2; 16:12; simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”
