1I sawG3708 1in the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 2satG2521 on the throneG2362 a 3 4bookG975 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 15betweenG1722 G3319 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.
