AndG2532 being turnedG1994, I sawG3708 sevenG2033 golden lampstandsG3087; 13AndG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of theG3087 sevenG2033 lampstandsG3087 one likeG3664 unto the SonG5207 of manG444, clothedG1746 with a garment down to the footG4158, andG2532 girtG4024 aboutG4314 the papsG3588G3149 with aG2223 goldenG5552 girdleG2223. 14HisG846 headG2776 andG2532 his hairsG3588G2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5616 woolG2053, asG5613 whiteG3022 as snowG5510; andG2532 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788 were asG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442; 15AndG2532 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 likeG3664 unto fine brassG5474, as ifG5613 they burnedG4448 inG1722 a furnaceG2575; andG2532 hisG846 voiceG3588G5456 asG5613 the soundG5456 ofG5204 manyG4183 watersG5204. 16AndG2532 he hadG2192 inG1722 hisG846 right handG1188 sevenG2033 starsG792: andG2532 outG1537 ofG3588G4750 hisG846 mouthG3588G4750 wentG1607 aG4501 sharpG3691 twoedgedG1366 swordG4501: andG2532 hisG846 countenanceG3588G3799 was asG5613 the sunG3588G2246 shinethG5316 inG1722 hisG846 strengthG3588G1411. 17AndG2532 whenG3753 I sawG3708 himG846, I fellG4098 atG4314 hisG846 feetG3588G4228 asG5613 deadG3498. AndG2532 he laidG2007 hisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 uponG1909 meG1473, sayingG3004 unto meG1473, FearG5399 notG3361; IG1473 amG1510 the firstG4413 andG2532 the lastG2078: 18I am he that livethG2198, andG2532 wasG1096 deadG3498; andG2532, beholdG3708, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forG1519 evermoreG3588G165, AmenG281; andG2532 haveG2192 the keysG3588G2807 of hellG3588G86 andG2532 of deathG3588G2288. 19WriteG1125 the things whichG3739 thou hast seenG3708, andG2532 the things whichG3739 areG1510, andG2532 the things whichG3739 shallG3195 beG1096 hereafterG3326; 20The mysteryG3588G3466 of theG3588G792 sevenG2033 starsG3588G792 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708 inG1909 myG1473 right handG3588G1188, andG2532 theG3588G3087 sevenG2033 goldenG3588G5552 lampstandsG3588G3087. TheG3588G792 sevenG2033 starsG3588G792 areG1510 the angelsG32 of theG3588G1577 sevenG2033 AssembliesG3588G1577: andG2532 theG3588G3087 sevenG2033 lampstandsG3588G3087 whichG3739 thou sawestG3708 areG1510 theG1577 sevenG2033 AssembliesG1577.
