Revelation 5:4-14

4ThenG2532 I began to weepG2799 greatlyG4183 becauseG3754 noG3762 oneG3762 was foundG2147 worthyG514 to openG455 the scrollG975 orG3777 to lookG991 into it. 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 be able to openG455 the scrollG975 and its sevenG2033 sealsG4973.”

6And I sawG3708 4betweenG1722G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 5the eldersG4245 a 6LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 7slaughteredG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 8hornsG2768 and 9sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 1011the sevenG2033 spiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sentG649 outG649 into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 12the scroll out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 13satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the scrollG975, the 14fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 15twenty-fourG1501G5064 eldersG4245 16fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 17LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2192 a 18harpG2788 and 19goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 20prayersG4335 of the 21saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 22newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “23WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the scrollG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 24slaughteredG4969, and You 25purchasedG59 people for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 from 26everyG3956 tribeG5443, languageG1100, peopleG2992, and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them into a 27kingdomG932 and 28priestsG2409 to our GodG2316, and they will 29reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voicesG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 30aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 31livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 32eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 3334myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “35WorthyG514 is the 36LambG721 that was 37slaughteredG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, wealthG4149, wisdomG4678, mightG2479, honorG5092, gloryG1391, and blessingG2129.” 13And I heardG191 38everyG3956 createdG2938 thingG2938 whichG3739 is in heavenG3772, or on the earthG1093, or underG5270 the earthG1093, or on the seaG2281, and allG3956 the thingsG3956 in them, sayingG3004, “To Him who 39sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 and to the 40LambG721 41be the blessingG2129, the honorG5092, the gloryG1391, and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.” 14And the 42fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 were sayingG3004, “43AmenG281.” And the 44eldersG4245 45fellG4098 downG4098 and worshipedG4352.
