Re 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps <3149> with a golden girdle.
"Paps" is a translation of a word in the NT which always refers to the breasts of a nursing woman. In addition to the text just quoted, it is used two other times in the NT:
Lu 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps <3149> which thou hast sucked.
Lu 23:29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps <3149> which never gave suck.

The Greek words which describe the breasts of Christ and the breasts of angels in Revelation are completely different. The angels are described using a word that "stethoscope" is based upon. The breasts of Christ use a word that "masticate" is based upon
Re 15:6 And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts <4738> girded with golden girdles.
<4738> is used several times in the NT:
Lu 18:13 "But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast <4738>, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
Lu 23:48 And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts <4738>.
Joh 13:25 He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom <4738>, *said to Him, "Lord, who is it?"
In the epistle of John, the apostle rests upon the chest of Christ. In Revelation, Jesus has a golden belt around nursing breasts.
Breasts are said to comfort and delight in Isaiah 66:
10 Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her; Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her,
11 That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts <07699>, That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom .
Scripture says Zion, and those who turn from transgression in Jacob will:
Suck the milk of nations And suck the breast <07699> of kings; Then you will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob (Is. 60:16).
