Revelation 5:5-14

5and oneG1520 of the eldersG4245 saidG3004 to me, “StopG3361 weepingG2799; beholdG2400, the 1LionG3023 that is 2from the tribeG5443 of JudahG2455, the 3RootG4491 of DavidG1160, has overcomeG3528 so as to openG455 the 4bookG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 5betweenG1722G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 6the eldersG4245 a 7LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 8slainG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 9hornsG2768 and 10sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 11the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG2316, sentG649 out into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 12the book out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 13satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the 14bookG975, the 15fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 16twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 17fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 18LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2198 a 19harpG2788 and 20goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 21prayersG4335 of the 22saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 23newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “24WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the 25bookG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 26slainG4969, and 27purchasedG59 for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 men from 28everyG3956 tribeG5443 and tongueG1100 and peopleG2992 and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them to be a 29kingdomG932 and 30priestsG2409 to our GodG2316; and they will 31reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voiceG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 32aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 33livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 34eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 35myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “36WorthyG514 is the 37LambG721 that was 38slainG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411 and richesG4149 and wisdomG4678 and mightG2479 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and blessingG2129.” 13And 39everyG3956 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 40sitsG2521 on the throneG2362, and to the 41LambG721, 42be blessingG2129 and honorG5092 and gloryG1391 and dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.” 14And the 43fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 kept sayingG3004, “44AmenG281.” And the 45eldersG4245 46fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipedG4352.
