3And noG3762 oneG3762 1in heavenG3772 orG3761 on the earthG1093 orG3761 underG5270 the earthG1093 was ableG1410 to openG455 the 2bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the 3bookG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it; 5and oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 4LionG3023 that is 5from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 6RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to openG455 the 7bookG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 8betweenG1722 G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 9the eldersG4245 a 10LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 11slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 12hornsG2768 and 13sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 14the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, sentG649 out into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 15the book out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 16satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the 17bookG975, the 18fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 19twenty-fourG1501 G5064 eldersG4245 20fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 21LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2198 a 22harpG2788 and 23goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 24prayersG4335 of the 25saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 26newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “27WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the 28bookG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 29slainG4969, and 30purchasedG59 for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 men from 31everyG3956 tribeG5443 and tongueG1100 and peopleG2992 and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them to be a 32kingdomG932 and 33priestsG2409 to our GodG2316; and they will 34reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”
