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 be able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6And I saw 4between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 5the elders a 6Lamb standing, as if 7slaughtered, having seven 8horns and 9seven eyes, which are 1011the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7And He came and took 12the scroll out of the right hand of Him who 13sat on the throne. 8When He had taken the scroll, the 14four living creatures and the 15twenty-four elders 16fell down before the 17Lamb, each one holding a 18harp and 19golden bowls full of incense, which are the 20prayers of the 21saints. 9And they sang a 22new song, saying, “23Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were 24slaughtered, and You 25purchased people for God with Your blood from 26every tribe, language, people, and nation.
