Revelation 5:5-9
5and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the 1Lion that is 2from the tribe of Judah, the 3Root of David, has overcome so as to open the 4book and its seven seals.”
6And I saw 5between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 6the elders a 7Lamb standing, as if 8slain, having seven 9horns and 10seven eyes, which are 11the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took 12the book out of the right hand of Him who 13sat on the throne. 8When He had taken the 14book, the 15four living creatures and the 16twenty-four elders 17fell down before the 18Lamb, each one holding a 19harp and 20golden bowls full of incense, which are the 21prayers of the 22saints. 9And they sang a 23new song, saying, “24Worthy are You to take the 25book and to break its seals; for You were 26slain, and 27purchased for God with Your blood men from 28every tribe and tongue and people and nation.
