10 I|strong="G1473" was|strong="G1096" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Spirit|strong="G4151" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" Lord|strong="G3588"'s day|strong="G2250", and|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" heard behind|strong="G3694" me|strong="G1473" a|strong="G1096" loud|strong="G3173" voice|strong="G5456" like|strong="G5613" that|strong="G3588" of|strong="G4151" a|strong="G1096" trumpet|strong="G4536",

12 Then|strong="G2532" I|strong="G1473" turned|strong="G1994" in|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" direction to|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" the|strong="G2532" voice|strong="G5456" that|strong="G3588" was|strong="G3588" speaking|strong="G2980" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G1473".

14 His|strong="G2532" head|strong="G2776" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G2532" hair|strong="G2359" were|strong="G3588" white|strong="G3022" like|strong="G5613" wool|strong="G2053", as|strong="G5613" white|strong="G3022" as|strong="G5613" snow|strong="G5510". His|strong="G2532" eyes|strong="G3788" were|strong="G3588" like|strong="G5613" a|strong="G5613" flame|strong="G5395" of|strong="G2532" fire|strong="G4442",
