“1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book
written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw
a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the
book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no man in heaven, nor in
earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to
look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open
and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5 And one of the elders
saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root
of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals
thereof.”
“6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four
beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as 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 took the book out
of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had
taken the book, the four beasts and four [and] twenty elders fell down
before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full
of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9 And they sung a new song,
saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:
for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of
every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 And hast made us
unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And
I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne
and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 Saying with a loud
voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches,
and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13 And
every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I
saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, [be] unto him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14 And the
four beasts said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and
worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.” (Revelation 5:1-14 AV)
