Revelation 4
Darby Bible
1After these thingsG3778 I sawG3708, and beholdG2400, a doorG2374 openedG455 in heavenG3772, and the firstG4413 voiceG5456 which I heardG191 as of a trumpetG4536 speakingG2980 with me, sayingG3004, ComeG1096 up hereG5602, and I will shew thee the thingsG3778 which must take placeG1096 after these thingsG3778. 2ImmediatelyG2112 I becameG1096 in [the] SpiritG4151; and beholdG2400, a throneG2362 stood in the heavenG3772, and upon the throneG2362 oneG3588 sittingG2521, 3and he [that was] sittingG2521 like in appearanceG3706 to a stoneG3037 [of] jasperG2393 and a sardiusG4556, and a rainbowG2463 round the throneG2362 like in appearanceG3706 to an emerald. 4And round the throneG2362 twenty-four thronesG2362, and on the thronesG2362 twenty-four eldersG4245 sittingG2521, clothed with whiteG3022 garmentsG2440; and on their headsG2776 goldenG5552 crownsG4735. 5And out of the throneG2362 goG1607 forthG1607 lightnings, and voicesG5456, and thundersG1027; and sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442, burningG2545 before the throneG2362, which areG1510 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of 1GodG2316; 6and before the throneG2362, as a glassG5193 seaG2281, like crystalG2930. And in the midstG3319 of the throneG2362, and around the throneG2362, fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, fullG1073 of eyesG3788, before and behind; 7and the firstG4413 livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a lionG3023, and the secondG1208 livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a calfG3448, and the thirdG5154 livingG2226 creatureG2226 having the faceG4383 as of a manG444, and the fourth livingG2226 creatureG2226 like a flyingG4072 eagleG105. 8And the fourG5064 living creaturesG2226, each oneG1520 of them having respectively sixG1803 wingsG4420; round and within they areG1510 fullG1073 of eyesG3788; and they cease not dayG2250 and nightG3571 sayingG3004, HolyG40, holyG40, holyG40, LordG2962 2GodG2316 AlmightyG3841, who wasG1510, and who isG1510, and who isG1510 to comeG2064. 9And whenG3752 the livingG2198 creaturesG2226 shall giveG1325 gloryG1391 and honour and thanksgivingG2169 to him that sitsG2521 upon the throneG2362, who livesG2198 to the agesG165 of agesG165, 10the twenty-four eldersG4245 shall fallG4098 before him that sitsG2521 upon the throneG2362, and do homage to him that lives to the agesG165 of agesG165; and shall castG906 their crownsG4735 before the throneG2362, sayingG3004, 11Thou art worthyG514, O our LordG2962 and [our] 3GodG2316, to receiveG2983 gloryG1391 and honour and powerG1411; for thou hast created all thingsG3956, and for thy will they wereG1510, and they have beenG1510 created.
