Revelation 4:7-11

7 1The 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 2four living creatures, each one of them having 3six wings, are 4full of eyes around and within; and 5day and night 6they do not cease to say, “7Holy, holy, holy is the 8Lord God, the Almighty, 9who was and who is and who 10is to come.”

9And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who 11sits on the throne, to 12Him who lives forever and ever,

10the 13twenty-four elders will 14fall down before Him who 15sits on the throne, and will worship 16Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their 17crowns before the throne, saying,

11“18Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You 19created all things, and because of Your will they 20existed, and were created.”
