Revelation 4
1AfterG3326 thisG3778 I lookedG3708, andG2532, beholdG3708, a doorG2374 was openedG455 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772: andG2532 the firstG4413 voiceG3588G5456 whichG3739 I heardG191 was as it wereG5613 of a trumpetG4536 talkingG2980 withG3326 meG1473; which saidG3004, Come upG305 hitherG5602, andG2532 I will shewG1166 theeG4771 thingsG3778 whichG3739 mustG1163 beG1096 hereafterG3326. 2AndG2532 immediatelyG2112 I wasG1096 inG1722 the spiritG4151: andG2532, beholdG3708, a throneG2362 was setG2749 inG1722 heavenG3588G3772, andG2532 one satG2521 onG1909 the throneG3588G2362. 3AndG2532 heG3588 that satG2521 wasG1510 to look uponG3706 likeG3664 a jasperG2393 andG2532 a sardiusG4555 stoneG3037: andG2532 there was a rainbowG2463 round aboutG2943 the throneG3588G2362, in sightG3706 like untoG3664 an emeraldG4664. 4AndG2532 round aboutG2943 the throneG3588G2362 were fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 seatsG2362: andG2532 uponG1909 the seatsG3588G2362 I sawG3708 fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 sittingG2521, clothedG4016 inG1722 whiteG3022 raimentG2440; andG2532 they hadG2192 onG1909 theirG846 headsG3588G2776 crownsG4735 of goldG5552. 5AndG2532 out ofG1537 the throneG3588G2362 proceededG1607 lightningsG796 andG2532 thunderingsG1027 andG2532 voicesG5456: andG2532 there were sevenG2033 lampsG2985 of fireG4442 burningG2545 beforeG1799 the throneG3588G2362, whichG3739 areG1510 the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 of GodG3588G2316.
6AndG2532 beforeG1799 the throneG3588G2362 there was a seaG2281 of glassG5193 like untoG3664 crystalG2930: andG2532 inG1722 the midstG3319 of the throneG3588G2362, andG2532 round aboutG2945 the throneG3588G2362, were fourG5064 beastsG2226 full ofG1073 eyesG3788 beforeG1715 andG2532 behindG3693. 7AndG2532 theG3588G2226 firstG3588G4413 beastG3588G2226 was likeG3664 a lionG3023, andG2532 theG3588G2226 secondG1208 beastG3588G2226 likeG3664 a calfG3448, andG2532 theG3588G2226 thirdG5154 beastG3588G2226 hadG2192 a faceG3588G4383 asG5613 a manG444, andG2532 theG3588G2226 fourthG5067 beastG3588G2226 was likeG3664 a flyingG4072 eagleG105.
8AndG2532 the fourG5064 beastsG2226 hadG2192 eachG303 of themG1438 sixG1803 wingsG4420 aboutG2943 him; andG2532 they were fullG1073 of eyesG3788 withinG2081: andG2532 they restG372G2192 notG3756 dayG2250 andG2532 nightG3571, sayingG3004, HolyG40, holyG40, holyG40, LordG2962 GodG3588G2316 AlmightyG3588G3841, whichG3588 wasG1510, andG2532 isG3588G1510, andG2532 is to comeG3588G2064. 9AndG2532 whenG3752 thoseG3588 beastsG2226 giveG1325 gloryG1391 andG2532 honourG5092 andG2532 thanksG2169 to himG3588 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG3588G2362, whoG3588 livethG2198 forG1519 everG3588G165 and everG3588G165, 10The fourG5064 andG2532 twentyG1501 eldersG4245 fall downG4098 beforeG1799 himG3588 that satG2521 onG1909 the throneG3588G2362, andG2532 worshipG4352 himG3588 that livethG2198 forG1519 everG3588G165 and everG3588G165, andG2532 castG906 theirG846 crownsG3588G4735 beforeG1799 the throneG3588G2362, sayingG3004, 11Thou artG1510 worthyG514, O LordG2962, to receiveG2983 gloryG3588G1391 andG2532 honourG3588G5092 andG2532 powerG3588G1411: forG3754 thouG4771 hast createdG2936 all thingsG3956, andG2532 forG1223 thyG4771 pleasureG3588G2307 they areG1510 andG2532 were createdG2936.
