Then
I saw a
scroll
in the right hand of the
One
seated
on the throne .
It
had
writing
on
both
sides
and was
sealed with seven seals.
And
I saw in the right hand of him
that
sat
on the throne a
book
written
within
and on
the
back,
close
sealed with seven seals.
And I saw a mighty
angel proclaiming in
a loud
voice, “
Who is worthy to break
the seals
and open
the scroll
? ”
And I saw a strong
angel proclaiming with
a great
voice, Who is worthy to open
the book,
and to
loose
the seals
thereof
?
But
no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll
or look inside
it
.
And
no one in the
heaven ,
or on the
earth ,
or under the earth ,
was able to open the book,
or to
look thereon
.
And I began
to
weep
bitterly
, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll
or look inside
it.
And I wept
much
, because no one was found worthy to open the book,
or to
look thereon:
Then
one of the elders said
to
me, “Do
not
weep !
Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has
triumphed
to open the scroll
and its
seven seals. ”
and
one of the elders saith
unto
me, Weep not;
behold, the Lion that
is
of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath
overcome
to open the book
and the
seven seals thereof
.
Then
I saw a
Lamb
who
appeared
to
have
been
slain,
standing
in the center
of the throne ,
encircled
by
the four living creatures and the elders.
The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent
the seven Spirits of God sent out
into all the earth.
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.
And He came and took
the
scroll
from
the right hand of the
One
seated
on the throne.
And he came ,
and he
taketh
`it'
out
of
the right hand of him
that
sat
on the throne.
When He had taken the scroll
, the four living creatures and the twenty-
four elders fell down before the Lamb .
Each one had
a harp, and they
were
holding
golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
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.
And they sang
a new song :
“
Worthy are
You
to take the scroll
and open its
seals ,
because
You
were
slain, and by
Your
blood
You
purchased
for
God those
from
every tribe and tongue and people and nation .
And they sing
a new song ,
saying,
Worthy art
thou
to take the book,
and to
open the
seals thereof:
for
thou
was
slain, and didst
purchase
unto
God with
thy
blood
`men'
of
every tribe ,
and tongue ,
and people ,
and nation ,
You
have
made
them to be a kingdom and priests to
serve
our
God,
and they will
reign upon the
earth. ”
and
madest
them `
to be '
unto
our
God
a kingdom and priests ;
and they reign upon earth.
Then
I looked
, and I heard the
voices
of many angels and living creatures and elders
encircling
the throne,
and their
number was
myriads
of myriads
and thousands of thousands .
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 ;
In
a loud
voice they
were
saying:
“
Worthy is the Lamb ,
who
was
slain ,
to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and blessing !”
saying
with
a great
voice ,
Worthy is the Lamb that
hath
been
slain to receive the
power ,
and riches ,
and wisdom ,
and might
and honor ,
and glory ,
and blessing .
And I
heard
every creature
in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in
the sea, and all that
is
in them, saying :
“To
Him who
sits
on the throne and to
the Lamb be praise
and honor and glory and power
forever
and ever !”
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 ,
Unto
him that
sitteth
on the throne ,
and unto
the Lamb ,
`
be '
the
blessing,
and the
honor ,
and the
glory ,
and the
dominion,
for
ever
and ever .
And the four living creatures said, “
Amen ,”
and the elders fell down and worshiped
.
And the four living creatures said, Amen .
And the elders fell down and worshipped
.
