Revelation 4:4-11

41Around the throne were 2twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw 3twenty-four elders 4sitting, clothed in 5white garments, and 6golden crowns on their heads.

5Out from the throne come 7flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were 8seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are 9the seven Spirits of God;

6and before the throne there was something like a 10sea of glass, like crystal; and in the 11center and 12around the throne, 13four living creatures 14full of eyes in front and behind.

715The first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle.

8And the 16four living creatures, each one of them having 17six wings, are 18full of eyes around and within; and 19day and night 20they do not cease to say, “21Holy, holy, holy is the 22Lord God, the Almighty, 23who was and who is and who 24is to come.”

9And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who 25sits on the throne, to 26Him who lives forever and ever,

10the 27twenty-four elders will 28fall down before Him who 29sits on the throne, and will worship 30Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their 31crowns before the throne, saying,

11“32Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You 33created all things, and because of Your will they 34existed, and were created.”
