| I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. | |
| And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" | |
| And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. | |
| Then I {began} to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; | |
| and one of the elders *said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals." | |
| And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. | |
| And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. | |
| When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. | |
| And they *sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood {men} from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. | |
| have made them {to be} a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth." | |
| Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, | |
| saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." | |
| And every 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, "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, {be} blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." | |
| And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped. |
