1 Then I saw at the right hand of him who was ‘seated on
the throne a book, with writing inside and out, and sealed’
with seven seals; note
2 and I saw a mighty angel who was proclaiming
in a loud voice—‘Who is worthy to open the book
and break its seals?’
3 But no one either in Heaven or
on earth or under the earth was able to open the book
or look within it.
4 At this I wept long, because no one
could be found who was worthy to open the book or look
within it.
5 But one of the Councillors said to me—‘Do not
weep. The Lion conquered—the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Scion of David—and can therefore open the book with
its seven seals.’ note
6 Then, within the space between the throne and the four
Creatures, and in the midst of the Councillors, I saw, standing,
a Lamb, which seemed to have been sacrificed. It had seven
horns and seven eyes. (These eyes are the seven Spirits of
God, and they are sent into all the world.) note
7 The Lamb came
forward; and he has taken the book from the right hand of
him who was seated on the throne. note ⪆⪆
8 And, when he had
-- --
taken the book, the four Creatures and the twenty-four
Councillors prostrated themselves before the Lamb, each of
them holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense. (These
are the prayers of Christ's People.) note
9 And they are singing a
new song—
‘Thou art worthy to take the book and break its
seals, for thou wast sacrificed, and with thy blood
thou didst buy for God men of every tribe, and
language, note
10 and people, and nation, and didst make
them a Kingdom of Priests in the service of our God,
and they are reigning upon the earth.’ note
11 Then, in my vision, I heard the voices of many angels
round the throne, and of the Creatures, and of the Councillors.
In number they were ‘ten thousand times ten thousand and
thousands of thousands,’ note
12 and they cried in a loud voice—
‘Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive
all power, and wealth, and wisdom, and might,
and honour, and praise, and blessing.’ note
13 And I heard every created thing in the air, and on the earth,
and under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them
crying—
‘To him who is seated on the throne and to the
Lamb be ascribed all blessing, and honour, and
praise, and dominion for ever and ever.’ note
14 And the four Creatures said ‘Amen,’ and the Councillors
prostrated themselves and worshipped.
