Revelation 5:6-8

6And I saw 1between the throne (with the four living creatures) and 2the elders a 3Lamb standing, as if 4slaughtered, having seven 5horns and 6seven eyes, which are 7 8the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7And He came and took 9the scroll out of the right hand of Him who 10sat on the throne.

8When He had taken the scroll, the 11four living creatures and the 12twenty-four elders 13fell down before the 14Lamb, each one holding a 15harp and 16golden bowls full of incense, which are the 17prayers of the 18saints.
