6And I sawG3708 1betweenG1722 G3319 the throneG2362 (with the fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226) and 2the eldersG4245 a 3LambG721 standingG2476, as ifG5613 4slaughteredG4969, havingG2192 sevenG2033 5hornsG2768 and 6sevenG2033 eyesG3788, whichG3739 are 7 8the sevenG2033 spiritsG4151 of GodG2316 sentG649 outG649 into allG3956 the earthG1093. 7And He cameG2064 and tookG2983 9the scroll out of the rightG1188 handG1188 of Him who 10satG2521 on the throneG2362. 8WhenG3753 He had takenG2983 the scrollG975, the 11fourG5064 livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 12twenty-fourG1501 G5064 eldersG4245 13fellG4098 downG4098 beforeG1799 the 14LambG721, eachG1538 oneG1538 holdingG2192 a 15harpG2788 and 16goldenG5552 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of incenseG2368, whichG3739 are the 17prayersG4335 of the 18saintsG40. 9And they sangG103 a 19newG2537 songG5603, sayingG3004, “20WorthyG514 are You to takeG2983 the scrollG975 and to breakG455 its sealsG4973; for You were 21slaughteredG4969, and You 22purchasedG59 people for GodG2316 with Your bloodG129 from 23everyG3956 tribeG5443, languageG1100, peopleG2992, and nationG1484. 10You have madeG4160 them into a 24kingdomG932 and 25priestsG2409 to our GodG2316, and they will 26reignG936 upon the earthG1093.”

11ThenG2532 I lookedG3708, and I heardG191 the voicesG5456 of manyG4183 angelsG32 27aroundG2945 the throneG2362 and the 28livingG2226 creaturesG2226 and the 29eldersG4245; and the numberG706 of them was 30 31myriadsG3461 of myriadsG3461, and thousandsG5505 of thousandsG5505, 12sayingG3004 with a loudG3173 voiceG5456, “32WorthyG514 is the 33LambG721 that was 34slaughteredG4969 to receiveG2983 powerG1411, wealthG4149, wisdomG4678, mightG2479, honorG5092, gloryG1391, and blessingG2129.” 13And I heardG191 35everyG3956 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 36sitsG2521 on the throneG2362 and to the 37LambG721 38be the blessingG2129, the honorG5092, the gloryG1391, and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165.”
