| 5:1 |
And 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.
|
| 5:2 |
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?"
|
| 5:3 |
And no one in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look into it.
|
| 5:4 |
And I [began] to weep greatly, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look into it;
|
| 5:5 |
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."
|
| 5:6 |
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.
|
| 5:7 |
And He came, and He took [it] out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
|
| 5:8 |
And when He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
|
| 5:9 |
And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy art Thou to take the book, and to break its seals; for Thou wast slain, and didst purchase for God with Thy blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
|
| 5:10 |
"And Thou hast made them [to be] a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."
|
| 5:11 |
And 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,
|
| 5:12 |
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."
|
| 5:13 |
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."
|
| 5:14 |
And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped.
