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. |
