我观看，见有一只手向我伸出来，手中有一书卷。

我观看，看哪，有一只手向我伸来；看哪，手中有一书卷。

我观看，看哪，有一只手向我伸来；看哪，手中有一书卷。

这时我看见一只手向我伸来，手中拿着书卷。

我观看，看见一只手向我伸过来，手中有一卷书卷。

我觀看，見有一隻手向我伸出來，手中有一書卷。

我觀看，看哪，有一隻手向我伸來；看哪，手中有一書卷。

我觀看，看哪，有一隻手向我伸來；看哪，手中有一書卷。

這時我看見一隻手向我伸來，手中拿著書卷。

我觀看，看見一隻手向我伸過來，手中有一卷書卷。

我看了看，只見有一隻手向我面前伸來，手中還有一卷書卷。

我觀之、見有手向我而伸、手中有卷、

我見有手、手執卷、

我見有一手、向我而伸、手中有卷、

Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll,

Then I looked up. I saw a hand reach out to me. A scroll was in it.

And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll,

So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.

Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and behold, a scroll was in it.

Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

And when I looked, behold, a hand was put forth unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;

So I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me, and there was a written scroll in it.

And when I looked, behold, an hand[ was] sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book[ was] therein;

Then I looked and realized a hand was stretched out to me, and in it was a written scroll.

When I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me; and, behold, a scroll of a book was in it.

接著，我看見坐在寶座上的那一位右手中拿著一個書卷，內外都寫著字，用七個封印封住。我又看見一位強有力的天使，大聲地宣告：「誰配打開這書卷，解開它的封印呢？」可是在天上、在地上、在地底下，都沒有一個能打開或閱讀那書卷的。於是我就大哭，因為找不到配打開或閱讀那書卷的。可是長老中有一位對我說：「不要哭了！看哪，那出於猶大支派的獅子、大衛的根已經得勝，可以打開那書卷和它的七個封印。」

看哪，有一隻手碰了我一下，使我用膝蓋和手掌支撐起來！

接著，我所聽見的那從天上來的聲音又對我講話，說：「你去，從那站在海上和地上的天使手中，把那打開的書卷拿過來。」我就走到那位天使面前，請他把小書卷給我。他就對我說：「拿去，把它吃掉！它會使你的肚子感到苦澀，但是在你口中會像蜜一樣甘甜。」我從天使的手中拿了小書卷，把它吃了；果然在我口中像蜜一樣甘甜，可是吃了以後，我的肚子就感到苦澀。然後他們對我說：「你必須指著許多民族、國家、語言群體和君王再說預言。」

看哪！那位樣子像人的碰了我的嘴唇，我就開口說話。我對那位站在我面前的說：「我主啊！因這異象，劇痛臨到我身上，我的力氣就留存不住。我主的僕人怎麼能與我主說話呢？我現在裡面一點力氣都沒有，連氣息都沒有。」那位樣貌像人的再次碰了我一下，使我有力量。

那時，忽然有人的手指頭出現，在燈臺對面王宮的粉牆上寫字。王看到那正在寫字的手，

於是我說：『看哪，我來了！關於我的事，經卷上已經記載了。神哪，我來是要遵行你的旨意！』」
