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

So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it.

So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take the scroll and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.”
