Rev 5
1
And I saw in the right hand of him whom sat on the throne a book written within and
on the back, close sealed with seven seals.
2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the
book, and to loose its seals?
3
And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the
book, or to look thereon.
4
And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon:
5
and one of the elders says to me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe
of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.
6
And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the
midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns,
and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth.
7
And he came, and he takes [it] out of the right hand of him whom sat on the throne.
8
And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty
elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of
incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9
And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take the book, and to open
its seals: for you was slain, and did purchase to God with your blood [men]
of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,
10
and made them [to be] to our God a kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth.
11
And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels round about the throne and the living
creatures and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand,
and thousands of thousands;
12
saying with a great voice, Worthy is the Lamb that has been slain to receive the
power, and riches, and wisdom, and might and honor, and glory, and blessing.
13
And every created thing which is in the heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,
and on the sea, and all things are in them, heard I saying, To him whom sits on
the throne, and to the Lamb, [be] the blessing, and the honor, and the glory, and
the dominion, for ever and ever.
14
And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshiped.
