Revelation 5

The Book with Seven Seals

1I sawG3708 1in the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 2satG2521 on the throneG2362 a 34bookG975 writtenG1125 insideG2081 and on the backG3693, 5sealedG2696 up with sevenG2033 sealsG4973. 2And I sawG3708 a 6strongG2478 angelG32 proclaimingG2784 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “WhoG5101 is worthyG514 to openG455 the 7bookG975 and to breakG3089 its sealsG4973?” 3And noG3762 oneG3762 8in heavenG3772 orG3761 on the earthG1093 orG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 the 9bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the 10bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it; 5and oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 11LionG3023 that is 12from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 13RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to openG455 the 14bookG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 15betweenG1722G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 16the eldersG4245 a 17LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 18slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 19hornsG2768 and 20sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 21the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, sentG649 out into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 22the book out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 23satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the 24bookG975, the 25fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 26twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 27fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 28LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2198 a 29harpG2788 and 30goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 31prayersG4335 of the 32saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 33newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “34WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the 35bookG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 36slainG4969, and 37purchasedG59 for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 men from 38everyG3956 tribeG5443 and tongueG1100 and peopleG2992 and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them to be a 39kingdomG932 and 40priestsG2409 to our GodG2316; and they will 41reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

Angels Exalt the Lamb

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 42aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 43livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 44eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 45myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “46WorthyG514 is the 47LambG721 that was 48slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411 and richesG4149 and wisdomG4678 and mightG2479 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and blessingG2129.” 13And 49everyG3956 createdG2938 thingG2938 whichG3739 is in heavenG3772 and on the earthG1093 and underG5270 the earthG1093 and on the seaG2281, and allG3956 thingsG3956 in them, I heardG191 sayingG3004, “To Him who 50sitsG2521 on the throneG2362, and to the 51LambG721, 52be blessingG2129 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.” 14And the 53fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 kept sayingG3004, “54AmenG281.” And the 55eldersG4245 56fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipedG4352.
