I saw ¹in the right hand of Him who ^asat on the throne a ^2bbook written inside and on the back, ^csealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a ^astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the ¹book and to break its seals?” 3 And no one ^ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the ¹book or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the ¹book or to look into it; 5 and one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^aLion that is ^bfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the ¹book and its seven seals.”

6 And I saw ¹between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^athe elders a ^bLamb standing, as if ^cslain, having seven ^dhorns and ^eseven eyes, which are ^fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took ^athe book out of the right hand of Him who ^bsat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the ¹book, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb, each one holding a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^gprayers of the ²saints. 9 And they *sang a ^anew song, saying,

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels ^aaround the throne and the ^bliving creatures and the ^celders; and the number of them was ^dmyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

13 And ^aevery created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,

14 And the ^afour living creatures kept saying, “^bAmen.” And the ^celders ^dfell down and worshiped.

Then I saw ¹in the right hand of Him who ^asits on the throne a ^bscroll written inside and on the back, ^csealed up with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a ^astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3 And no one ^ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 Then I was crying greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop crying! Behold, the ^aLion that is ^bfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 Then I saw in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures and in the midst of ^athe elders a ^bLamb standing, as if ^cslain, having seven ^dhorns and ^eseven eyes, which are ^fthe seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took ^athe scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^bsits on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb, each one having a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^gprayers of the ¹saints. 9 And they *sang a ^anew song, saying,

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels ^aaround the throne and the ^bliving creatures and the ^celders; and the number of them was ^dmyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

13 And ^aevery created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying,

14 And the ^afour living creatures kept saying, “^bAmen.” And the ^celders ^dfell down and worshiped.

I saw ¹in the right hand of Him who ^asat on the throne a ^2bscroll written inside and on the back, ^csealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a ^astrong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 3 And no one ^ain heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. 4 Then I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. 5 And one of the elders *said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the ^aLion that is ^bfrom the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome so as to be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

6 And I saw ¹between the throne (with the four living creatures) and ^athe elders a ^bLamb standing, as if ^cslaughtered, having seven ^dhorns and ^eseven eyes, which are ^2fthe seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took ^athe scroll out of the right hand of Him who ^bsat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the scroll, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb, each one holding a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of incense, which are the ^gprayers of the ¹saints. 9 And they *sang a ^anew song, saying,

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels ^aaround the throne and the ^bliving creatures and the ^celders; and the number of them was ^1dmyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice,

13 And I heard ^aevery created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,

14 And the ^afour living creatures were saying, “^bAmen.” And the ^celders ^dfell down and worshiped.

I saw in the right hand of Him who was ^aseated on the throne a ^bscroll written on the inside and on the back, closed and ^csealed with seven seals. Is 29:11; Ezek 2:9, 10; Dan 12:4 2 And I saw a ^astrong angel announcing with a loud voice, “Who is worthy having the authority and virtue to open the scroll and to ¹break its seals?” 3 And no one ^ain heaven or on earth or under the earth in Hades, the realm of the dead was able to open the scroll or look into it. 4 And I began to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it. 5 Then one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the ^aLion ^bof the tribe of Judah, the ^cRoot of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and break its seven seals.” Gen 49:9, 10; Is 11:1, 10; Rev 22:16

6 And there ¹between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among ^athe elders I saw a ^bLamb (Christ) standing, bearing scars and wounds as though it had been ^cslain, with seven ^dhorns (complete power) and with ^eseven eyes (complete knowledge) , which are ^2fthe seven Spirits of God who have been sent on duty into all the earth. Is 53:7; Zech 3:8, 9; 4:10 7 And He came and ¹took ^athe scroll from the right hand of Him who ^bsat on the throne. 8 And when He had taken the scroll, the ^afour living creatures and the ^btwenty-four elders ^cfell down before the ^dLamb (Christ) , each one holding a ^eharp and ^fgolden bowls full of fragrant incense, which are the ^gprayers of the saints (God’s people) . 9 And they sang a ^anew song of glorious redemption, saying,“^bWorthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were ^cslain (sacrificed) , and with Your blood You ^dpurchased people for God from ^eevery tribe and language and people and nation. Ps 33:3

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels ^aaround the throne and the voice of the ^bliving creatures and the ^celders; and they numbered ^dmyriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands (innumerable) , Dan 7:10 12 saying in a loud voice,“^aWorthy and deserving is the ^bLamb that was ^csacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.” 13 And I heard ^aevery created thing that is in heaven or on earth or under the earth in Hades, the realm of the dead or on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying together,“To Him who ^bsits on the throne, and to the ^cLamb (Christ) , be ^dblessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” Dan 7:13, 14 14 And the ^afour living creatures kept saying, “^bAmen.” And the ^celders ^dfell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
