Bible, King James Version
Revelation
Rev.5
[1] 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.
