Revelation 5:1-9
1And I sawG3708 in the rightG1188 handG1188 of him that satG2521 on the throneG2362 a bookG975 writtenG1125 within and on the back, close sealed with sevenG2033 sealsG4973. 2And I sawG3708 a strongG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 with a greatG3173 voiceG5456, Who is worthyG514 to openG455 the bookG975, and to looseG3089 the sealsG4973 thereof? 3And no oneG3762 in the heavenG3772, or on the earthG1093, or under the earthG1093, was ableG1410 to openG455 the bookG975, or to lookG991 thereon. 4And I weptG2799 muchG4183, because no oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the bookG975, or to lookG991 thereon: 5and oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saith unto me, WeepG2799 not; beholdG2400, the LionG3023 that is of the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the RootG4491 of DavidG1138, hath overcomeG3528 to openG455 the bookG975 and the sevenG2033 sealsG4973 thereof. 6And I sawG3708 in the midstG3319 of the throneG2362 and of the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, and in the midstG3319 of the eldersG4245, a LambG721 standingG2476, as though it had beenG1510 slainG4969, having sevenG2033 hornsG2768, and sevenG2033 eyesG3788, which areG1510 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, sentG649 forthG649 into all the earthG1093. 7And he cameG2064, and he taketh it out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of him that satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8And whenG3753 he had takenG2983 the bookG975, the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226 and the fourG5064 and twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fellG4098 downG4098 before the LambG721, having each oneG1538 a harpG2788, and goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, which areG1510 the prayersG4335 of the saintsG40. 9And they sing a newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004,
WorthyG514 art thou to takeG2983 the bookG975, and to openG455 the sealsG4973 thereof: for thou wast slainG4969, and didst purchase unto GodG2316 with thy bloodG129 men of every tribeG5443, and tongueG1100, and peopleG2992, and nationG1484,
